The fatal autopilot crash occurred in Florida, not Pennsylvania. There was also another in China.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoI see, so there are others that also support my argument (having been in Shanghai, I can definitely tell you that China's roads are sometimes questionable, the very erratic driver behavior that is the norm even more so). The Pennsylvania crash I was referring to in particular was this one: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/07/07/police-investigating-tesla-autopilot-crash-on-pennsylvania-turnpike/ http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/07/07/police-investigati... Thankfully, it does look like the PA one wasn't fatal after all though. For what it's worth, Tesla also directly and very publicly disputes the driver's own personal account by claiming that autopilot wasn't enabled during the crash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Judgmentality 10y agoDid you go to CMU? Just curious as I've seen your name pop up a few times with regards to self-driving cars.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoNo I didn't, but I did summer research internships there while I was in college. I was waitlisted from CMU SCS, so I "settled" for Cornell instead. ;-) The self-driving car space is just something that I like to follow very closely, given that I've had picked up a bit of domain knowledge over time.
