That seems like a silly reaction. 40k people die in car crashes in the US every year, and you’re scared by the one death that is an edge case? Would you have been less scared if he had been killed in the impact, and the door handles hadn’t mattered? I agree that car safety systems should be better, but in this case it seems like they did the job. They kept this guy alive long enough to be killed by the aftermath of the crash, rather than the crash itself. Driving in a car is always a gamble, no matter who makes the car. There is no beta testing here, _you are in a car_. I also feel compelled to point out that if the fancy screen crashes, then you can either keep driving and navigate using your phone, or you can park and try to reboot or troubleshoot it. The computer that runs the screen is separate from the one that controls the motor(s). Also, isn’t the yoke an option on just one of the four Tesla models? You can just avoid buying that one if you don’t like it :) FWIW, I don’t own a car. I don’t commute, so when mine was stolen a few years back I simply put off replacing it until I really needed one.
