Musk should have to write a check for $1 billion to her.
I'm not kidding. That's how we have to punish billionaires. Every infraction is a minimum $1 billion payout to each person.
I'm with you. I wish we lived in a world where these rich bastards were being held meaningfully accountable.
It's up to us. We have to force our representatives to enforce justice, or we will, and it will include those who denied us justice.
I wish there was a real way to do that.
He owes her 10 million and pays 2 billion dollar in taxes
It should be a significant percentage instead, I think. 5% net worth.
He'd fix that shit real quick.
non monetized punishment should be their punishment. never mind paying anyone off. make all that money powerless.
Why? These are known useful features of the car. The guy changing the settings remotely is the criminal and she was too ignorant to disable his account. It's like if you give your house keys to your stalker and find them illegally in your house then trying to sue the lock maker.
Please explain how remotely limiting the speed of a vehicle is useful and not dangerous.
The only “parental controls” you need are the keys.
that feature is called "Valet mode". It's specifically to stop valets going joy-riding on your $150k car that was faster than most Ferraris back when that feature got added.
Sweet. So why does it need to be done remotely? Why not a passcode?
It offers both. But if you do it remotely from the owner's phone, it doesn't require the passcode. Presumably in case you forget the passcode you set in the car.
And once you build the functionality to turn it off remotely, you may as well allow turning it on as well. For example, if you realize you forgot to enable valet mode shortly after handing over the keys, you can still do so.
