Unless the data literally sings it from the tree tops less than honest people will pretend it says whatever they want it to say for clicks and eyeballs.
With how popular Musk is these days I can 100% where Tesla is coming from here.
- FireBeyond 1y ago> less than honest people will pretend it says Like Tesla? If your airbags don't deploy, Tesla doesn't consider it an accident for the purposes of reporting (modern safety systems don't blindly deploy airbags, they evaluate g-forces, speeds, angles of impact, etc., so you can hit something at 25mph and the vehicle decides your seatbelts are sufficient. Tesla decides "that's not a reportable collision"). Know when else your airbags might not deploy? Very serious accidents, when hardware or controllers are damaged. Speaking of which, fatalities are not included in that report. "It was a collision where someone died, but doesn't merit inclusion in a safety report" is a weird position to take.
- jeffbee 1y agoDon't all event data recorders, in every brand of car, decide to log events based on airbag deployment?
- iamtheworstdev 1y agoI hope not. I don't believe airbags aren't deployed when you're rearended, and some other circumstances.
- jeffbee 1y agoI looked up the American regs and they say record event if "non-reversible deployable restraint" was deployed ... or if the vehicle accelerated over a delta-V greater than 8km/h in 150ms. The regulatory record from 20 years ago is available at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/08/28/06-7094/event-data-recorders https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/08/28/06-7094...
- potato3732842 1y agoYes. Been standard since 1990s. IDK if it's actually required but everyone does it. At a minimum they store data of the last N seconds before deployment. It's mostly for debugging problems and preventing insurance fraud. The data can be pretty sparse depending on year/make/model. Like in the 90s it was little more than speed and throttle position.
- watwut 1y agoIsn't Musk one of the least honest persons on the planet? His capacity for lying is known for years and literal grounds for his success.
