Ban them, recall them, force the “auto” pilot features to be disabled
Id just like to point out that while I think Tesla is a shit car company partly owned by a complete asshole that theres no evidence at this point that there was any fault with the car. Could have been a medical episode, drunk driver or shit driver. They deserve a lot of hate for shit thats definitely wrong with them. This might not be one of those cases.
My prius brakes if it detects a pedestrian in front of you even when your foot is on the gas. Unsurprising that tesla can’t figure that out
genuine question, what does it do if it detects a car following you at the same speed?
Probably not care since what danger is there from a car following you?
I meant at the same time
Nice. I’m vegan BTW.
What a great and insightful comment making fun of people discussing standard safety features to avoid driving over pedestrians
It’s a self-deprecating in joke. Don’t worry about it. If I had realized it would make you lose your shit because you saw the word “vegan”, I would have explained it. Don’t hurt any individuals, okay?
It must have registered a pedestrian with semitic facial features.
Any information yet if the software went crazy or the driver went crazy?
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
It does look like the front might have actually fallen off.
Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
I saw the username and thought this is exactly her kind of reasoning, but apparently perhaps Australia has a senator with that name too
Well there are a lot of these pedestrians going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that pedestrians aren’t safe.
This is how the Skynet takeover plays out in the boring dystopia. Tesla autopilot taking revenge for all the vandalism. SMH
Maybe, the Tesla wanted to drive to the location shown on one of the pedestrian’s T-Shirt… 😏
T-shirt:
“New York”
Tesla:
“Sweet, found a shortcut!”
The Tesla didn’t hit anyone. The driver hit people WITH a Tesla. If it were a baseball bat instead of a car, would they say a bat hit the people or the man holding it hit them? The media always tries to exonerate the driver without any research. #FuckCars
>accuses media of exonerating driver without research
>provides no evidence or research to support their claim
Oops, you have become that which you despise.
I was speaking in general about the media. It’s very common to have the media report “accidents” before the blood is even dry or the bodies are cold. The police haven’t even identified the driver or the victims to find out if they know one another and the reporters are using the word accident to report what could just as easily be a premeditated homicide. In any case the car manufacturers should be held liable. Cars are a dangerous product because they are too heavy and move too fast. The maximum speed of a car should be 30mph on main roads and 20mph in residential areas. We have the technology for it.
I don’t so happily welcome our dystopian future. I don’t need my car to police me. I can’t where you’re coming from on that, but it’s kind of a horrifying thought imo. You’re absolutely correct about the safety matter, but that’s also a pretty steep cost for safety. I’m very conflicted.
depends if the car was in self driving or not. If this is a technological failure, even if it was brakes or other parts, then it could be the car.
if it was at all intentional, 100% agree.
If it was a self driving bat maybe
If you own a self driving bat, or a robot, or a car and it leaves your house without your permission and kills people, it’s still your responsibility. Self driving vehicles do not remove responsibility from car owners or manufacturers. You can’t put a machine in prison or make it pay a fine.
The car wrapped around the lamppost with a “Welcome to campus life” banner got a chuckle out of me.
It’s the student life m8
Jesus Christ footage looks like it was doing a few miles an hour there
