Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis
-
News on the first mission: Meteoroid crashes into full flying SpaceX rocket, killing all aboard.
-
They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised
A neural network that has been in development for 650 million years.
-
Because muh freedum, EU are a bunch of commies for not allowing this awesome innovation on their roads
-
I'm not sure how that's possible considering no one manufactures self-driving cars that I know of. Certainly not Tesla.
-
I'm on mine far more often than I'm in a car. I think Tesla found out that I point and laugh at any cyber trucks I see at red lights while I'm out and is trying to kill me.
-
I had ignored the video, as I didn't expect Mark to expose Tesla
-
Musk = POS Nazi. Who couldn't care less about people being killed by his shit companies.
-
It's helpful to remember that not everyone has seen the same stories you have. If we want something to change, like regulators not allowing dangerous products, then raising public awareness is important. Expressing surprise that not everyone knows about something can be counterproductive.
Going beyond that, wouldn't the new information here be the statistics?
-
There's at least two steps before those three:
-1. Society has been built around the needs of the auto industry, locking people into car dependency
- A legal system exists in which the people who build, sell and drive cars are not meaningfully liable when the car hurts somebody
-
Bribes to local governments and police, mostly.
-
Every captcha.....can you see the motorcycle? I would be afraid if they wanted all the squares with small babies or maybe just regular folk...can you pick all the hottie's? Which of these are body parts?
-
Because the march of technological advancement is inevitable?
In light of recent (and let's face it, long ago cases) Tesla's "Full Self Driving" needs to be downgraded to level 2 at best.
Level 2: Partial Automation
The vehicle can handle both steering and acceleration/deceleration, but the driver must remain engaged and ready to take control.
Pretty much the same level as other brands self driving feature.
-
Not much you can do about a random object strike during launch/re-entry...
-
Sounds like NHTSA needs a visit from DOGE!
-
I think it's important to call out inattentive drivers while also calling out the systems and false advertising that may lead them to become less attentive.
If these systems were marketed as "driver assistance systems" instead of "full self driving", certainly more people would pay attention. The fact that they've been allowed to get away with this blatant false advertising is astonishing.
They're also obviously not adequately monitoring for driver attentiveness.
-
- A legal system exists in which the people who build, sell and drive cars are not meaningfully liable when the car hurts somebody
That's a good thing, because the alternative would be flipping the notion of property rights on its head. Making the owner not responsible for his property would be used to justify stripping him of his right to modify it.
You're absolutely right about point -1 though.
-
Because I do journalism, and sometimes I even do good journalism!
In that case, you wouldn't happen to know whether or not Teslas are unusually dangerous to bicycles too, would you?
-
The other brands, such as Audi and VW, work much better than Tesla's system. Their LIDAR systems aren't blinded by fog, and rain the way the Tesla is. Someone recently tested an Audi with its system against a Tesla with its system. The Tesla failed either 3/5 or 4/5 tests. The Audi passed 3/5 or 4/5. Neither system is perfect, but the one that doesn't rely on just cameras is clearly superior.
Edit: it was Mark Rober.
