What We Know About Last Week's Accident
- godelmachine 9y agoCurious how they have logs everywhere these days. Maybe they should start keeping these logs in a "black box" - like airplanes have, from which they can retrieve information after a fatal crash.
- noderat 9y agoThey already have a 'black box' which contains their logs. This is how they have been able to investigate the previous reported crashes.
- nugi 9y agoMy beef with tesla, is that is is their black box to access, and not yours. I think you should own your data. That is to say nothing of their toxic assult on right to repair.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoYour beef is with the entire auto industry then. No one gives you access to the flash memory in the airbag module storing these last values prior to an incident.
- jlgaddis 9y agoAIUI, the police can pull a fair amount of data from the onboard OBD port on cars. I'm sure the manufacturers can get even more out of it.
- exclusiv 9y agoYes you can get a lot of data from ODB. I use a bluetooth OBD reader and Torque Pro to get data, view fault codes, reset them, etc. I haven't used it to get historical data but I think it's doable as you mentioned.
- exclusiv 9y ago> It is worth noting that an independent review completed by the U.S. Government over a year ago found that Autopilot reduces crash rates by 40%. They always put this out there. You could reduce crash rates but still have a higher chance of death under failure. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's ready for primetime, especially as it's been marketed. If this was a result of an Autopilot failure (perhaps because the crash attenuator was not fixed from the prior collision as they noted) then Tesla is screwed.
