The rest may be true, may be germane, or may not be. The only part that matters to me until the results of the NTSB investigation is made public, is that the autopilot did this.
- mathgeek 9y agoIt's more about what the autopilot didn't do than what it did do. It did drive straight ahead into a concrete barrier. It didn't see the barrier. If it had seen the barrier (as is reasonable to expect), it wouldn't have driven into it. Thus what it didn't do caused what it did do.
- dingaling 9y agoThe fact that Tesla even made a press release of this nature disturbs & annoys me. When the NTSB is investigating an aircraft or train accident we don't see the vehicle manufacturer rushing out a "well we told him to take control" statement and a dump of telemetry. At most they state "we are of course working with the authorities to establish the cause and any corrective actions" until the investigation is completed. Tesla needs to mature from a blame-the-user software-industry mentality to something more befitting their responsibilities.
