Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.
I didn’t know this, but I’m not shocked, or even a little bit surprised.
Mark Rober had a video on autopilot of several cars and he used his Tesla. The car turned off the autopilot when he crashed through a styrofaom wall.
This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was “off”
But tesla doesn’t claim you can ever not overlook the car, so if you didn’t notice and stop it, it is your fault. Fuck elon and all that, but it is somewhat reasonable.
Holy shit I did indeed look it up, and it’s true. Dunno if it’ll hold up but it’s still shady as shit
Most states apply liability to whoever is in the driver seat anyway. If you are operating the vehicle, even if you’re not controlling it at that moment, you are expected to maintain safe operation.
That’s why the Uber self driving car that killed someone was considered the test driver’s fault and left Uber mostly off the hook.
Not sure how it works for the robo taxis, though.
Yeah that’s gonna be tricky with those. I live in Vegas where they’re already operating. No steering wheel at all.
Well… What about blaming the passengers?
Now, I would like to imagine the legal case of an accident involving a self driving robo-taxi transporting another robot to a facility (owned by the company).
Maybe they can blame the humans who suffered the accident?
Except the autopilot will modify its data that it was turned off right at the moment it hits people…
Nah, it just disengages a fraction of a second before impact so they can claim “it wasn’t engaged at the moment of impact, so not our responsibility.”
There were rumours about this for ages, but I honestly didn’t fully buy it until I saw it in Mark Rober’s vison vs lidar video and various other follow-ups to it.
Made by someone who’s able to THINK like a Tesla owner.
Brake pedal? Unthinkable
Dude, that’s paid premium
Lol
At best Tesla pays a fine, not Elon.
Tldr: Take the train and be safe.
Rant: In the EU, you are 35x more likely to die from a car crash, compared to a train crash. The union has created the so-called Vision Zero program, which is designed to reach zero driving deaths by some arbitrarily chosen date in the future. And of course it talks about autonomously driving cars. You know, crazy idea, but what if instead of we bet it all on some hypothetical magic Jesus technology that may or may not exist by the arbitrarily chosen date and instead focus on the real world solution that we already have? But well, the car industry investors would make less money, so I can answer that myself. :(
Edit: Also, Musk is a Nazi cunt who should die of cancer.
I think musk cunt should die of starvation.
Have you seen his human-growth-hormone belly? It would take years, man.
Retrofitting, in some parts of the world suburbs have already been built.
Oh. A fine. How will Musk survive that financially?
It’s a feature, not a bug.
-Musk, probably.
Just let it happen we are all going to die anyway
