My car gets in panic mode if I lift my butt to take off my jacket while driving. Did these two dudes put some other weight in the drivers seat?Tesla really needs to shut down the car if no one is in the seat until true FSD is ready.

Yeah ...that is a pretty harsh way to win the Darwin award.There is for those two.
I don't have a Tesla (I know I know...), so let me ask: there is already an alert system in place for when there is no weight in the driver seat?My car gets in panic mode if I lift my butt to take off my jacket while driving. Did these two dudes put some other weight in the drivers seat?

The strongest persuasion, is grounded in the beliefs of an idea’s adversaries. The states that prohibit direct sales of Tesla vehicles, are almost always Republican bastions of conservatism. The American conservative movement counts as one of its foundational tenets, free market economies.

Not old enough to have witnessed it but following TMC long enough to remember that Studebaker has been mentioned as a company that survived the transition from horse carriage to car and truck.There was an established Horse Carriage Co who converted to horseless; so how did they pull off this change? I forget who it was, but any lessons there? Did the dealers sell anything on 4 wheels or did they split into separate businesses? (Anyone here that old to remember?)
There are already mechanisms to protect against this. Seat belt must be engaged, seat must sense weight, etc. These can be defeated.Tesla really needs to shut down the car if no one is in the seat until true FSD is ready.
I get alerts immediately if I take my seat belt off in Autopilot in my Model 3 (to take my coat off) , let alone try to get out of the driver's seat.I don't have a Tesla (I know I know...), so let me ask: there is already an alert system in place for when there is no weight in the driver seat?
The Tesla already does register when you put packages in the passenger seat, noting that there is weight there but the seatbelt is not on.Yes.
But there are some minor adjustments: as @JRP3 said you could shut down the car with no driver.
I thought that if there is no pressure on the drivers seat, the car would stop or shut off?There is for those two.
I wonder if their bowling ball is in the forest now?I thought that if there is no pressure on the drivers seat, the car would stop or shut off?
Have you met people?People need to not be stupid.
Here is one:So true. Gets under my skin a bit, such waste.
Besides opening up to allow Tesla Sales in each state, what should Dealerships be doing to survive? Put Teslas on the lot? ICE + EVs?
Some people can't wait 2-3 week for delivery so a walk in drive away offering could bring value. Something tells me the other manufacturers would lose sales fast and add pressure on the Dealership. If their world swallowed the medicine, is there any scenario with a flat or positive outcome?
I would be trying to work a deal with Tesla to stay relevant. However, maybe game theory would show things just accelerate towards failure by joining in.

Sounds like a lot of things was done to defeat teslas system. A Tesla with ap enabled going high speed on city streets without a driver is not something one can do with a flip of a switchI thought that if there is no pressure on the drivers seat, the car would stop or shut off?
It doesn't take much weight to activate the sensor. A heavy bag of groceries will do it. If you also buckle the seatbelt, you can defeat the safety measures. There is no safety measure so foolproof that the Universe can't create a fool capable of defeating it.I thought that if there is no pressure on the drivers seat, the car would stop or shut off?
Amazing to read some of the comments from that article....Ugly incident with Autopilot (apparently): two dead after a collision on a tree. Allegedly, no one was in the driver seat.
