So Does That Make Them Frenemies?

Hacker And Nerd God, Apple's Steve Wozniak Slams Tesla's Elon Musk — And There's A BONUS Surprise . . . . .

Although Steve Jobs gets the lion's share of the credit for Apple's success — and he should given how he turned the company around then released several game changing products — there's also a more unsung hero. To the hacking community and computing nerds like myself, Steve Wozniak is a god. 

That's because he has the hacker's ethos and is the real deal behind Apple's start.

So, when Wozniak speaks it doesn't hurt to listen now and again. And, boy, he recently let it rip when asked about Tesla and, more specifically, the company's leader, Elon Musk. 

See the excerpt below from Business Insider:

. . . . . Wozniak's trust was dented.

"I believed that stuff," he said. "Now I don't believe anything Elon Musk or Tesla says, but I still love the car..."

. . . . ."All Tesla says is, 'It's beta, so we're not responsible — you have to be in control,'" Wozniak said. "So that's kind of a cheap way out of it. Everything I've read told me that every other car manufacturer in the world — Audi and BMW — are actually ahead of Tesla for self-driving cars . . . . ."

 

So, here comes the bonus to this story. According to Woz, while he says he still loves the Tesla he owns, he admits that he typically chooses to use his Chevrolet Bolt unless he's going on a longer drive to Kansas or Yellowstone.

California Issues Self Driving Report Card And It Sucks

Companies testing self-driving cars on California streets gave a peek into the inner workings of their real-world test drives on Wednesday. The big takeaway? Many are still a long way from letting drivers take their hands off the wheel.

Most manufacturers are still developing self-driving technology in secret, using private test facilities and virtual simulations, so there is little data publicly available to track their progress. The California Department of Motor Vehicles' annual disengagement report released Wednesday, though not comprehensive, provides a snapshot into how far along these companies may be.
