There have already been some tragedies with similar services used by children. The linked article mentions only one of those tragedies. Maybe too many to choose from. I did not ever expect to see a major player offering 'this kind of service' directly.

quickymart: Politico posted this recently, an interview with an adviser to Perot's campaign in 1992

Best advice to win US political races: be very white, very rich and very old. That'll get you about 75% there.

The age of Russell Verney is unknown because he won't publish his birthdate. In 1996 CNN said he was 49 years old, so he's about 78/79 now

The US is a gerontocracy. No wonder they want to return to the 1950's. It was when it was OK to poop in their diapers in public.

This engineer has been very stoic, unemotional, in past math-heavy videos. So this is uncharacteristic.

Trump whispering is particularly difficult.

If Trump always lies, and Trump says he will defund Elon Musk, and may deport.
What will Trump actually do after important tasks like supervising more gold leaf for Whitehouse?

There always seems to be a space that is not gold leafed, a Trumps work is never done.
As all Trumps properties are probably official offices there is even more work to gold leaf these.

Elon Musk is still getting Billions in Government money.
Handily SpaceX was able to loan a few Billion of that to Elon for his other ventures.
Tax deductions pile up.

Its probably a whole crap-ton of Nividia Cards and Jet Engines for his Memphis Mecha-Hitler.
The sweet, sweet Memphis sound of roaring Jets and choking exhaust in the morning.
Trumps DOGED and defunded EPA no obstacle.

J. D. Vance ( Thiels Apprentice ) patently waiting,
Thiel and Bros, happy to see Elon take the lead, and damage in Trump baiting.
If someone was to get angry enough to burst a blood vessel.

Zuckerburg proposing a data center the size of Manhattan, even more power hungry,
the battle is on.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink filed as ‘disadvantaged business’ before being valued at $9 billion: CNBC

In April, shortly before being valued by venture investors at $9 billion, Elon Musk’s Neuralink labeled itself a “small disadvantaged business” in a federal filing.

The filing would have reached the Small Business Administration at a time when Musk was leading the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Note that "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" is what Musk used to call “FSD Beta” or FSD, before lawyers got involved.

The "supervisor" is the driver. (It ain't Tesla's fault if car kills someone, including bystanders. It's your fault. Company assumes no liability for any loss or damages.)

Sounds much better than "FSD (DMKHOTW EOTR RTTOAAM UAYO RTNLR FACDODIAOY MGHMOYS). Acronym expanded to

"driver must keep hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, ready to take over at any moment. use at your own risk. Tesla not legally responsible for any carnage, deaths or dismemberments. It's all on you. May God have mercy on your soul."

Of course this ain't cheap. NZD 11,400 (~AUD 10,100). On the plus side, it's one-off

Outside North America, FSD’s extra features beyond "Enhanced Autopilot" , EAP, are limited, to mostly the cruise control capability.

Tesla Confirms Upcoming FSD Rollout in Australia and New Zealand: Not a Tesla App

The long long wait for FSD (Supervised) in Australia and New Zealand may be coming to an end. Thom Drew, Tesla’s Country Director for Australia & New Zealand, has confirmed on LinkedIn that Tesla has been working with local authorities in both countries and that there are no regulatory blockers for the release of FSD in the region.

Hurdles Cleared

For many years, the main question surrounding the release of FSD in other Asia-Pacific countries, especially Australia, has been the status of regulatory approval. Drew’s statement provides the clearest answer yet regarding regulatory barriers, and it appears that the path is clear from a governmental standpoint.

“We have been working with local authorities across AU & NZ and there are no regulatory blockers for release. We are running through the final stages of validation prior to public release. Looking to start with HW4 on certain vehicles and then release in phases from there.”

I bet you this new ad from The Lincoln Project will very much chew away at him (and all his insecurities). Well deserved, too.
