So why not just TELL Tesla that it needs to operate within those conditions, and then enforce when it fails to do so? How can this regulatory body be so ass-backwards.
- spacecadet 3y agoWhy not tell automakers not to make vehicles capable of achieving speeds over 50-70mph? Im not arguing with you, just pointing out that plenty of enforcements are in place related to automobiles and they are all "honor system" and "expensive to enforce", even speeding, which can largely be automated is still expensive to enforce...
- supermatt 3y agoPeople choose to speed - they don’t choose for their cars driving aids not to work as advertised. If it is known that these aids don’t work in certain situations, then they should be prevented from being activated in those situations. They don’t need to enforce all offences, just those reported, such as the one mentioned in the article. The car already collects its own evidence. What has changed since that incident? Incremental improvements no doubt, but it is STILL known that those aids do not work effectively, and shouldn’t be operated on country lanes, yet you can easily activate them with no warning.
- spacecadet 3y agoSure. Im not going to respond any further then, you should explore this further, because you are making hella assumptions and clearly don't understand federal/state traffic laws in the US. Also, chill out, I was only suggesting a thought exercise about choice... not arguing with you.
- supermatt 3y agoWhat makes you think I’m not chilled? Are you responding to some other comment maybe?
