People are arguing about autopilot being disabled during the drive, but even if it was, the emergency braking system should tried to do something.
Why would it? It sees a road in front of itself, the whole car is built + programmed to go by what it sees, as an image.
The car is doing exactly what it is built to do. It just so happens that “safety of road traffic” is not among the things it is built for, and explicitly so.
I love that they had pre-cut the styrofoam wall in a cartoony hole shape because they knew it was going to happen.
With the visual there’s no way it would not have. It’s not hard to foresee.
You know, with how distracted your average Tesla driver is, I’m pretty sure this would trick them even with them “driving” with AP on.
You mean without AP on?
I mean clearly it makes no difference but yeah, lol
ACME electric car.
Pyrotechnics included.
FSD was promised but never delivered because they need lidar for rain/snow/etc weather.
The FSD promise was mostly just market manipulation. Sure they might actually get it done at some point. But the time line they proposed was just a scam. And it worked seeing the market cap.
I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they’re not much bigger than 2 meters.
And people are pissy about it. Tesla sucks. Grow up
AP aside, worst car manufacturer.
Not defending Tesla or anything but let’s not pretend like the majority of people on the road looking at their phone would not have done the exact same thing
Someone should make looking at your phone while driving illegal. Maybe even slap it with a catchy name like “distracted driving” and make the issue a whole big deal.
Maybe they should be a responsible driver and look at the road instead or better yet take public transit.
Would be nice, but i live in reality unfortunately
