I'm not affiliated with Tesla and happy to answer any questions you have about this project.

The most surprising thing to me was how much I had to be involved to correct Opus's work. I thought it would be just a sprint and did not expect a marathon vibe coding session :D

I was watching the spaceX documentary, and its special how they use to stop the thrust right at the first contact, else the car can never land safely and bounce after contact

now make an option where it's a dumpster on fire instead of a car
