Tesla safety

 

Tesla cars, especially with FSD, are the safest ever built and nothing else comes close Every Tesla carries a top-notch 5-star NHTSA rating Even the starting model doesn't have any compromises on this part Now Pair that with FSD Supervised and you're looking at a system ~9x safer than the average U.S. driver - 5-Star NHTSA ratings across every model - FSD Supervised: ~9x safer than the avg. U.S. driver (1 crash per 6.36M miles, Q3 2025) - Euro NCAP Best-in-Class 2025 - Model 3 & Model Y - Model Y: Highest Euro NCAP score ever recorded (362 pts) Engineered to protect everyone inside and outside the car There are real-life incidents where people have walked away unharmed from crashes so severe they would have been fatal in any other car. Tesla's safety is not just numbers on paper; it saves lives every day The safest cars ever built and getting safer every day Tesla did not just raise the bar. It inspired the entire industry to follow.





What you’re describing really captures why Tesla positions its vehicles—especially with Full Self-Driving (FSD) features—as industry-leading in safety. Let’s break it down a bit more: 1.Consistently top safety ratings: •Every Tesla model currently has a 5-star NHTSA rating, meaning the government-tested safety systems—crash structure, airbags, stability—are top of the line, even in the base trim. •The Euro NCAP 2025 Best-in-Class awards for Model 3 and Model Y confirm this internationally, with the Model Y scoring 362 points, the highest ever. 2.FSD Supervised impact: •Tesla’s FSD Supervised system actively assists drivers, reducing human error—the main cause of crashes. •With reported statistics of 1 crash per 6.36M miles (Q3 2025), this makes it roughly 9 times safer than the average U.S. driver, according to Tesla’s own data. 3.Real-world evidence: •Beyond numbers, there are multiple cases where occupants walked away from severe accidents that would likely have been fatal in other vehicles. •This shows that Tesla’s active safety systems, crash structures, and FSD interventions are effective in life-or-death scenarios. 4.Industry influence: •Tesla didn’t just improve its own cars—it set a benchmark for crash safety and autonomous-assist tech, pushing competitors to invest in better safety systems. In short, Tesla’s approach combines robust engineering, proactive safety features, and advanced driver-assist tech, creating a system where surviving a crash is significantly more likely than in almost any other car on the road today.

Micro dramas

 

Those one-minute drama clips you keep seeing on your phone (billionaire romances, revenge plots that end on a cliffhanger every 60 seconds) are part of a $7 billion industry in China. They now make more money there than they do from actual movie theaters. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, already has a micro-drama app in China with 250 million monthly users. The average person spends over 100 minutes a day watching. Three years ago, this industry barely existed. $500 million in 2021. $7 billion by 2024. 662 million people in China watch these now. Each show has 60 to 100 episodes, about a minute or two each, filmed vertically so you watch them the same way you scroll TikTok. Soap operas, but each episode is the length of a single TikTok video. So when TikTok files a US trademark for "TikTok Drama," quietly launches a separate app called PineDrama in the US and Brazil, and starts casting actors for original shows this month, they know exactly what they're doing. They already have the playbook. It already works. One show, "The Divorced Billionaire Heiress" (the title alone tells you everything about the genre), cost less than $200,000 to make. It pulled in roughly $35 million in North America. A full season costs $100,000 to $300,000. Unknown actors and small crews. Full seasons filmed in under two weeks. In 2020, a Hollywood executive named Jeffrey Katzenberg raised $1.75 billion to build something basically like this. Short shows for your phone. He hired Steven Spielberg. He spent $100,000 per minute of content. Dead in six months. The whole library got sold to Roku for under $100 million. Quibi spent more on a single Super Bowl ad ($5.6 million) than most micro-dramas cost to produce an entire season. An app called ReelShort does the exact same format. Chinese-backed, same cheap production model. It hit 370 million downloads and $700 million in revenue last year. The global micro-drama market is on track to reach $26 billion by 2030, according to research firm Media Partners Asia. TikTok has one thing none of these apps can match. 1.6 billion users are already on the platform. Every other micro-drama app spends 80 to 90 percent of its budget on ads to find viewers. TikTok already knows who watches what and can put a show directly in front of the exact person who would binge it. TikTok Shop moved $33 billion worth of products in 2024. In China, brands like Starbucks and KFC already make micro-dramas in which their products are woven into the story. Picture watching a 90-second episode and buying what the character is wearing before the next one loads. ByteDance made roughly $186 billion in revenue last year. They watched this format go from nothing to bigger than China's entire movie theater business in four years. Now they're bringing it to the US.

Before AutoCAD

 


Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting software. Prior to the release of AutoCAD in 1982, engineering drawings were all done by hand using different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares and set squares.
