Nah mate, fixing your cat photos app is not the same thing as fixing software that killed people.

- 4ad 3y agoFrom a user experience perspective it is exactly the same. The user doesn't have to send their hardware away.
- izacus 3y agoIt actually isn't - hence the "filing". Tesla needs to notify people to update their software, even those that don't have wifi or 4G available for updates for whatever reason.
- guil177 3y agoPhones hold sensitive datas, banking stuffs. I never heard about recall when a security flaw is fixed on a phone by a software update.
- brightball 3y agoDid it kill people?
- isodev 3y agoYup
- windexh8er 3y agoFrom this article [0] in October of 2023"...Autopilot have been involved in more than 700 crashes, at least 19 of them fatal, since its introduction in 2014..."

- mavhc 3y agoInvolvement doesn't mean caused. Also how many lives has it saved?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoWith everyone on their phones now while driving, I wonder if cat photos have killed more.
- keep_reading 3y agoPretty sure Instagram thots and memes have killed more than Teslas. I'd bet a lot of money on that.
- izacus 3y agoFortunately, cats usually aren't given control over a steering wheel :) Tesla software is.
- Robotbeat 3y agoSince autopilot is used on a substantial fraction (one third?) of miles driven by Teslas, this is another way of saying that Teslas are not yet invincible to crashes.
