Yes, I thought that could be the case too, but no way to know without seeing the logs.

These systems do work and have worked for years. They are also regularly tested by IIHS. See, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJgUiZgX5rE And Teslas at least used to do this too: https://www.youtube.

That low level of funding for such a critical function seems a clear threat to public safety.

Exactly: An investigation would find out what happened.

by raylad 5y ago
This does sound like something that should be the subject of a recall investigation.

by raylad 5y ago
My interpretation is that it may or may not be what happened, and should be investigated.

Tesla was rear car. Nothing else hit it. It hit me twice.

No other car hit the Tesla from behind. It hit me with two impacts all by itself.

Yes, but there is usually an additional system like Toyota's Safety Stop which WILL detect a stationary object and kick in at the last minute to reduce speed by N MPH before collision. AFAIK Tesla used to have that via its RADAR but be

Stop and go traffic is not the same. In stop and go traffic, the car in front of you is visible to the camera at all times. In this case, my car may not have been acquired by the camera before it was already stationary, in which case it mig

One concern I would like investigated is that it appears Tesla's Autopilot can't detect (or can no longer detect?) stationary objects. Until fairly recently, I believe that the RADAR, which used to be in all their cars, would have

I doubt they will do anything. They have a process: claims adjuster looks at the police report, looks at the wreckage, proposes a payment, closes the file. Anything else would be extra work on their part and not required or probably even en

Yes, they were there and so was a fire engine. I don't think it's typical for police to request autopilot logs from Tesla though.

Tell HN: Tesla rear-ended me on autopilot, no one will investigate

In a related question, a twitter user registered the name of one of my companies (which happens to be trademarked), never posted any tweets, is following nothing and has no followers, and apparently last activity was about 8 years ago. Twit

Did you read the papers? Specifically what do you find suspect in them?

How about issuing every employee with a monitor that detects microwave radiation (since that's what they're saying they think it is)?

Yes, in known earthquake zones I would expect some testing, but in places like NYC I'm not sure. In a few minutes searching I didn't find any reference to required testing of old buildings for structural or materials integrity.

It should be but is it? I don't think anyone ever tested this building, which has a combined market value of probably close to $200M. None of the owners want to know that their investments are worthless. So nothing will be checked unle

It will become a very big problem if/when buildings start collapsing with people in them. I grew up partly in an 18 story reinforced concrete building built in the 1920s. The apartment I lived in was recently sold for several million d
