I saw my first tesla a few weeks ago. I was walking in a target parking lot, and it passed by me to get to the other end of the parking lot, which is a strip mall.
I felt it was my civic duty to go laugh at what I THOUGHT was going to be a 50 year old white guy with a red hat. I was going to go walk up to him, point, and laugh. Calling him a pussy free loser for driving that car.
I was not prepared for what happened next. I see the car circling around, like it can’t find a spot, even though 90% of the strip mall was empty. Finally, he pulls up right next to the spot I was standing near. I was like “ooooooh, here we go!”
Door opens on the passenger, and 3 little Asian kids get out. Followed by an Asian woman in her 30s. Then the driver side opens. And a blind Asian man gets out.
Now what the fuck am I supposed to do??? I’m still trying to figure out if/how he was driving. I’m not saying being blind is a coverall for shitty behavior like driving a tesla…but I just couldn’t bring myself to call a blind guy a pussy free loser in front of his wife and kids.
NONE of it makes sense. And I feel dumber for having experienced my first tesla.
Seriously though, does ANYONE have any context for how a blind man with seeing stick can drive a car? It’s been driving me crazy, because I know what I saw…I just can’t explain what I saw.
NOt entirely blind so a stick helps with curbs and stuff, similar to how there are people who can walk, technically, but benefit from a mobility device.
No one took away his license when they should have, and full self driving helps him appear to function

It’s almost as if regular people buy cars that fit their lifestyle and not their politics or something.

Uh, OK.
