Tesla has disputed those claims, saying the driver manually overrode the system by pressing the accelerator.
This is referring to another crash mentioned in the article, but I’m sure Tesla will find this was the cause for this crash too.
Elon is never guilty of anything, people are dead and he has a trillion dollars…
This is legitimately a common cause of crashes in every model of car. People accidentally press the accelerator when they try to press the brake, and when the car speeds up, they press even harder on what they think is the brake but is actually the accelerator. After the crash, the driver often still insists that they were pressing the brake and the car was at fault.
It’s probably even more common in Teslas because the driver doesn’t need to have their foot on either pedal in the time leading up to the incident, increasing the chances that their feet aren’t aligned how they’re used to.
Add it to the pile. It’s a big pile. This happens a lot. Always somehow the driver’s fault.
Maybe…but old fat fucks mash the wrong pedal every day in any car. It’s the reason why retail is now surrounded by anti-tank battlements.
Last month, 7 in hospital when someone ended up driving into a gym…
This happens 16,000 times a year in USA. Because drivers have never been older, and no one can drive manuals any more, and fat feet no longer fit on brake pedals.
As a fat old fuck, I just want to say I disagree; us fat old fucks don’t generally have significantly fatter feet than average. I highly suspect that most old fucks would be as statistically dangerous drivers as fat old fucks.
Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday’s crash.
IMO we shouldn’t jump the gun until it’s verified it’s their self driving and not the driver.
Teslas are programmed to disengage autopilot before a crash so headlines can say that tesla autopilot was not engaged at the time of the crash.
nah… jump the gun.
fuck corporations. they don’t deserve any breaks or ‘innocent until proven guilty’. they are ALWAYS guilty unless otherwise proven… always…
I mean, if everytime you check the corporations mystery box labeled “I acknowledge” you agree a thousand things you would never normally agree too, then why should we assume cooperation are not by default lying to you.
Years ago Tesla was caught turning off self driving the second before impact, to avoid responsibility. Any one really think Elon has grown as a person since then?
Ok dont jump the gun on blame…
But why the fuck are we allowing these car companies beta test their shit software on public roads??
I don’t actually want to hear about every single crash involving a vehicle by any one particular vehicle manufacturer.
Yesterday I saw a car that was on fire, do you all want to hear about that? No, because there are a bazillion car fires every day? Huh.
Random car fires are just that random and isolated. Full self driving Tesla failures are pretty common and being underreported. One is a lack of maintenance or a truly isolated defect or failure. The other is failure by Design.
560 and counting…
Ok, you guys clearly took the bait.
Now let’s put driver deaths into perspective of all manufacturers:
https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-model
So how many Lemmings are posting stories about Mercedes CLA deaths?
How about RAM pickups?
Mercedes and Ram both have a single car that does worse than Tesla? Color me surprised. To be fair—those are not are FSD, right?
But
Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday’s crash.
So this is not about (under)reporting of FSD failures. This is about reporting any bad news about Tesla, which is fucking boring.
First word of your quote largely discredits it. Authorities. There have been a great number of rolling Tesla death traps that have killed passengers and pedestrians. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s Tesla or not. The authorities have covered up for Ford Chrysler etc etc etc as well in the past.
You have evidence of this, of course, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying it so confidently.
Everyone does. In fact the only way someone wouldn’t have evidence of this. Would largely be if they were either trying very hard to stay uninformed. Or are just so extremely insulated that that they somehow missed it.
I’m not seeing anything about the grand cover up you’re alleging.
That’s on you. The Ford Pinto didn’t Crash and Burn as much as Tesla’s have. And people like yourself are blissfully unaware of the fact. Whereas the Ford Pinto went on to be a joke and major black mark on Ford’s reputation for decades. Besides all the other black marks that Henry Ford had earned
This is not about a Tesla having an accident, it’s about FSD not working as advertised.
FSD actively causes insane accidents that would be very unlikely with a normal driver, and would only be seen with for instance an insanely drunk driver. FSD is essentially much like drunk driving.If this is about FSD, we’d know whether FSD was involved, but
Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday’s crash.
This is about people hating Tesla because the man in charge is a Nazi cunt. And fair enough, but I still don’t want to read about every single crash of one of the millions of Teslas.
Wrong answer for Lemmy.
SIMI valley made the news BRUH
That place is a racist hellhole. I’m surprised they aren’t featured more
There’s a comedy show called simi valley about it, pretty funny
Is it doing that stupid celebration mode thing?
