Might want to wait until it's determined if the driver had FSD/Autopilot enabled at the time before implying it is about FSD.
> California Highway Patrol Officer Adam Lane said it was not clear whether the driver may have been intoxicated or whether the Tesla Model S was operating with automation or driving assistance features.
- jacquesm 4y agoWhat is the rate at which non-Tesla vehicles crash into stationary emergency vehicles? Because if the rate is the same on a relative scale then it seems moot, but if it is significantly higher then there would be a good reason to be suspicious.
- ggm 4y agoDrunk drivers in non FSD vehicles can't pretend to be capable in predictable conditions as well. So, to some extent FSD is precisely why drunk drivers in teslas with FSD enabled are possibly more of a risk in unpredictable situations. Ever wondered how many gun related accidents involve alcohol?
- kjksf 4y agoBased on how many times those crashes hit HN home page: 0. Reality: quite a few if you bother to Google it e.g. hhttps://www.google.com/search?q=bwm+crashes+emergency+vehicle https://www.google.com/search?q=bwm+crashes+emergency+vehicl... Obviously there are no statistics for "brand X crashes into fire truck" so unless you have data to the contrary, you can assume that the rates are more or less the same.

- culopatin 4y agoEnough to make it a law to move over one lane if you see an emergency vehicle on the shoulder. And enough to put it on signs on the highway all the time.
- emmelaich 4y agoI would expect far more from Teslas because people trust them too much.
