- vm 8y agoIf you were aware of what was happening. Smartphones are distracting.
- alasdair_ 8y agoIs there any proof that the guy who died was using a smartphone at the time of the crash?
- vm 8y agooops didn't mean to imply that for the driver. meant it to as a meta-comment. my point was that the driver probably didn't know the crash was about to happen. broader investigation into "why the crash happened" is more fruitful than "what the driver could have done differently once the crash happened"

That it preformed soooooo poorly and that Tesla has responded soooo shadily, should put anyone seeking auto-pilot (as a real need, not a gadget) on notice.
