If the center console fails and therefore fails to assert it has presented the normal directional selection GUI, the backup system can kick in.
There are a myriad of similar "failsafe" type examples out there...

If only there were some way for Tesla to disseminate information about its products to the billions of people who don’t follow Elon Musk on Twitter. Some way to ... I don’t know ... project images of their products into peoples homes, even just 15 to 30 seconds at a time, during breaks in their normal entertainment, somehow. Do you guys think networks could be convinced to trade small packets of airtime in exchange for money? I know it’s a crazy idea, but wow what a fantastic way that’d be to reach millions of consumers who are otherwise demonstrably ignorant of these cars.
It seems to me the important question is whether after detecting a log in the road at 820’ at 200 mph the mechanical braking system can come to a stop In 819’.

That dude is wrong so often I stopped taking anything he says seriously.
The many delivery time threads on this very forum indicate that it is not time yet. 
All that advertisements will do is increase the wait time from 6-12 weeks to 6-12 months!
Google search engine never advertised. Advertisements have negligible or no impact on the adoption of Facebook, Twitter and Windows. Tech monopolies usually don't need advertisements. By the time Tesla is no longer demand constrained, it will be a tech monopoly.

I'd have more confidence if his thread was longer than 70
You could make an argument that with more awareness through advertising, the entire company would benefit, would be able to expand faster through additional stock raises, and new customers would demand a slightly higher level of communication/PR.The many delivery time threads on this very forum indicate that it is not time yet.

You could also make the argument that Tesla is expanding as fast as it can and doesn't need the extra attention, I get that.
I think advertisement, education and exposure would only help at this point.
To the mod that keeps censoring my posts, I'm not even mad, I just want whatever I said to be legible. So if you gotta remove a cuss word just put in something else like *nincompoop*. Taking it out just made that last one make less sense. Night night for now.
Mod Edit: Yes - you seem blind to the fact the TMC does not permit the use of foul language. Moderators aren‘t here to amend your posts; if sewage is removed and what remains doesn’t make sense, blame yourself…and change your ways.
SpaceCash edit: lol no, what is this, the USS Mayflower? Using radio-permissible words isn't reasonable pretext for censoring thought on a forum like this. Who is offended? Nobody.

I'm enjoying watching this conversation between a mod and SpaceCash in the body of his post.
Could the starlink network, if equipped with cameras, provide the vision?
I won't engage in the perennial discussion if Tesla needs to advertise, but I'll post this:
Source: Those who have heard more about electric vehicles are more likely to consider purchasing one
In general, I'd view favorably some publicity to make people understand that right now, and not in the future,
EVs are an option. I still think the general FUD is slowing EV adoption worlwide.
People are slow to change their opinions.
But I will... Remember Tesla has the highest "will buy EV again" score?
That means all others EV produce higher numbers of "I will NOT buy an EV again". Not even a Tesla.
Tesla advertising now would help sell more of those miserable EVs from "competition" that give those unfortunate buyers a bad taste of what EV is.
They then go on about telling others about their bad EV experience.
End result? Mission delayed.
Tesla will need to advertise when their own cars cannot be sold anymore at prices high enough for Tesla making enough profit.
If at that moment Tesla still wishes to sell EVs at all.
Hey Folks,
I would like to dabble again into investing more fresh money into Tesla and its securities. Can't get enough of TSLA
However, I am pretty annoyed and disappointed with my broker Interactive brokers UK, after the Brexit rules came into place. I was forced to switch to IB Ireland and they are asking me for ridiculous margin numbers since then.
I am looking to switch to another broker that provides the best margin rates. I am a European resident and I would be delighted for any suggestions.

More publicity about BEV benefits and usability, yes
Tesla advertising, NO
Advertising in that context is a terribly bad idea.
That is why almost no conventional advertising is used in the tech industry.

Tesla is currently discounting Model 3/Y ~$1000 in China if you take delivery before the end of the month. And has been for a couple of weeks.
Suggesting there is not a long line of customers stretching for weeks months waiting for their ordered Model 3/Y.
Instead maybe Tesla should exchange some bitcoin for airtime explaining the benefits of its safety systems in China?

The best advertising is lowering the price.

Not if potential customers don' t know about the price decrease.
Could be.
Or it could be that Tesla China want to deliver as many cars as possible in Q2 and have seen earlier that customers often delay picking up their cars. Perhaps just into the next month to get a new paycheck. A discount would counter that.
