There are a bunch of these videos on YouTube. The best part about them is watching the Tesla Owners' Club (Internet Comment Subdivision) crawl out of the woodwork to explain away why the software worked perfectly and if only the meatbag behind the wheel had read section 74.3(f) of the operating instructions they would OF COURSE have known about this.
- aggie 10y agoWhile I would hope automakers don't push the technology before it's ready, and relying on disclaimers does seem more CYA than an actual safety measure, it's easy to be defensive when an issue like this has a high probability of being treated irrationally. A meatbag in a conventional vehicle getting into an accident doesn't make the news. An autonomous vehicle completing a trip without incident doesn't make the news. The relative accident rates of autonomous vehicles and meatbag-piloted vehicles doesn't make the news. These are sensitive times for public acceptance of the technology.
