Tesla is so sure its cars are safe you’ll say goodbye to a lot more than just steering wheels
In the self-driving future envisioned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, car owners might be saying “goodbye” to a whole lot more than steering wheels.
Musk is so sure of the safety features bundled into Tesla vehicles that his company has begun offering some customers a lifetime insurance and maintenance package at the time of purchase.
No more monthly insurance bills. No more unexpected repair costs.

A Libertarian Transhumanist’s Take on the Future of Taxes
My new article for Psychology Today on my federal audit and the coming day of eliminating taxes because of technology.
With all that in mind—and the $7500 they say I owe them—they know I wouldn’t hire an accountant at $150 an hour to deal with the thousand-plus receipts, payments, and supposed car log entries I made last year—since the amount I’d spend on an accountant in the San Francisco Bay Area might easily end up more than $7500. They also surely know I won’t do it myself, since it’s definitely not worth my own time.

In fact—given how perturbed I feel at the IRS and its 82,000 full time employees this moment, if it was just economical, I’d re-file to get more of my earnings back. But in the twisted game they created in their 74,000+ page tax code, it’s not worth it.
Their way of operating has made me suspect one of their main algorithms on whether to audit people resembles mafia morality:
Driver-optional cars: Once-reluctant California opens a road
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cars with no steering wheel, no pedals and nobody at all inside could be driving themselves on California roads by the end of the year, under proposed state rules that would give a powerful boost to the fast-developing technology.
For the past several years, tech companies and automakers have been testing self-driving car prototypes in neighborhoods and on freeways. But regulators insisted those vehicles have steering wheels, pedals and human backup drivers who could take over in an emergency.
On Friday, the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles proposed regulations that would open the way for truly driverless cars.
