      The post talks about “catastrophe failure” of the steering. Also a bad fly by wire system seems like it’s pretty well encapsulated in “shoddy engineering”

        Catastrophic failure of the truck’s steering. I don’t recall a Boeing incident being due to the steering mechanism breaking.

        Yes you’re right, it’s all engineering. I meant like cracks in the frame and stuff.

          Oh shit my bad thought you meant none of the tesla issues were the fly by wire.

          No as far as I know that hasn’t been an issue on the planes yet, but then again the fact the door wasn’t screwed on right doesn’t encourage a lot of confidence on any other system.
