Tesla eerily silent as federal investigators blame “FSD” in deadly firetruck crash

[wil9000]

Tesla Full Self Driving is an experiment being operated on this country, without anyone giving consent, and many people are dying because of it. More than fifty lawsuits against Tesla. Read or listen to this podcast for all the details, but, basically Elon is doing an experiment, where he is more than willing to let people die, because he thinks that sacrificing their lives will improve the lives of people down the road (as it were). It’s like Lord Fahrquar in Shreck said: “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice that I am willing to make.”. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/26/podcasts/the-daily/elon-musk-tesla-self-driving.html

Okay, the assumption is that FSD is crashing into things it shouldn’t crash into. I just haven’t heard of it crashing into things that weren’t emergency vehicles, or entirely stationary road infrastructure like the one that hit the ramp divider head on at highway speed.

do children count?

Tesla’s self-driving technology fails to detect children in the road, group...

and as i said, it’s also implicated as being a cause of collisions and deaths in other situations

Tesla recalls 362,000 U.S. vehicles over Full Self-Driving software

Possible situations where the problem could occur include traveling or turning through certain intersections during a yellow traffic light and making a lane change out of certain turn-only lanes to continue traveling straight, NHTSA said.

NHTSA said “the system may respond insufficiently to changes in posted speed limits or not adequately account for the driver’s adjustment of the vehicle’s speed to exceed posted speed limits.”

Last year, Tesla recalled nearly 54,000 U.S. vehicles with FSD Beta software that may allow some models to conduct “rolling stops” and not come to a complete stop at some intersections, posing a safety risk, NHTSA said.

One of the first and most publicized fatal Tesla FSD crashes was the one where it drove straight at the side of a turning semi trailer, decapitating both car and driver.

Regardless, beta testing life-and-death functions on public roads is dangerous and irresponsible. Period.

That is a good point. It definitely crashed into that.

This is the part I really have trouble wrapping my head around. Who let this happen?

Right?!?
You can’t have a vanity plate proclaiming your love of tofu, but you can ply the roads with tons of vehicles in beta mode. Our priorities are way out of whack.
