Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.
I didn’t know this, but I’m not shocked, or even a little bit surprised.
Mark Rober had a video on autopilot of several cars and he used his Tesla. The car turned off the autopilot when he crashed through a styrofaom wall.
This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was “off”
It turns it off with the parking sensor 2ft before the accident.
Holy shit I did indeed look it up, and it’s true. Dunno if it’ll hold up but it’s still shady as shit
Most states apply liability to whoever is in the driver seat anyway. If you are operating the vehicle, even if you’re not controlling it at that moment, you are expected to maintain safe operation.
That’s why the Uber self driving car that killed someone was considered the test driver’s fault and left Uber mostly off the hook.
Not sure how it works for the robo taxis, though.
Autopilot will turn off a few milliseconds before impact either way
Tldr: Take the train and be safe.
Rant: In the EU, you are 35x more likely to die from a car crash, compared to a train crash. The union has created the so-called Vision Zero program, which is designed to reach zero driving deaths by some arbitrarily chosen date in the future. And of course it talks about autonomously driving cars. You know, crazy idea, but what if instead of we bet it all on some hypothetical magic Jesus technology that may or may not exist by the arbitrarily chosen date and instead focus on the real world solution that we already have? But well, the car industry investors would make less money, so I can answer that myself. :(
Edit: Also, Musk is a Nazi cunt who should die of cancer.
Speaking as a German: There are fewer train-related deaths because the trains don’t drive.
Too bad I live in hell country. Where there are no sidewalks or public transportation just roads and we have facist dipshits bought out by big car companies. I would love to take a train or a bus but that stuff doesn’t exist here and never will until we re-educate and remake America from the ground up. America is just too far gone at this rate to even want these public transportation services at all or even bike-lanes. Cities would rather destroy themselves for big top stores anyway and highways thinking they are a good thing only to realize that will ensure they will cease to be alongside their local businesses. I’m sorry but I’m forced to walk on the road and nearly get run over legally speaking with zero repurcussions from the driver side because I shouldn’t of been walking on the road anyway.
