It’s unknown if autopilot was engaged… Sigh…
Forbes reports; nothing to report.
Next.
Every day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians; nobody bats an eye. (c.f. US CDC)
One Tesla crashes and it’s front page news.
I guess the difference is we expect humans to fuck up, but autonomous driving is meant to eventually be the thing that replaces that and stops us fucking up.
It just needs to to be better than humans, not perfect. That would save lives.
The scary thing to me is that humans are predictable, or at least, predictable in their unpredictableness.
With AI, it’s a black box I don’t understand. When it suddenly crashes, I literally will have no idea why.
You deal with a different sort of people than I do.
And Tesla’s shitty ADAS is making the rest of the industry look bad.
Leave the billionaire and his shitty cars alone 😭
This same crash modality was one of the first autopilot crashes.
When your autopilot will drive right into the side of a truck, people are right to question its safety.
Fatal Tesla crash MAY HAVE INVOLVED ALIENS!
