Elon Musk's Big Lie About Tesla Is Finally Exposed
Elon Musk's Big Lie About Tesla Is Finally Exposed
More than 2 million of the cars are being recalled — because Tesla’s “self-driving” systems have always been anything but
It's so frustrating that something anybody even only peripherally aware of attempts to automate driving knew for years is only slowly coming out while the Apartheid Edgelord gets richer and richer from his lethal lies.
You're viewing a single thread.
It turns out that when a human uses a “driving assistance” system that steers, brakes and accelerates for them, sometimes they stop paying attention to the road.
Ironically, the safest thing to drive is a 20 year old car with no modern safety equipment and a manual transmission.
Edit: New numbers just dropped. Teslas crash more than everything else, despite having the lowest DUI rate.
I might accept the manual transmission since you have to be a bit more engaged to actually make the car drive but the rest? Nah man. A modern car that isn't self driving but has lane assist, backup cameras, and auto brakes is going to just be inherently more safe.
A tesla where people are napping behind the wheel? Obviously a bit too far with tech that isn't quite there.
Agreed.
Here in the EU my insurance gave me a rebate for every safety feature, and that's not charity, simply them looking at the statistics. A lot of this stuff is now also legally required on new cars.

quiteanywhere near there.Fixed that for you.
I disagree with back up cameras, seems people don’t have any special awareness anymore and just stare at that screen, but maybe with those monster trucks it can help some.
Spatial* and back up cameras are infinitely better than craning your head around back and forth and staring through a tiny back window, needing to hope that there isn't an object below bumper height.
Just because something is on a screen doesn't make it worse.
That's fair.

Modern cars are far more safe than a 20 year old beater with no tech.
Say "I can't read statistics" without using those words.
Categorically untrue.
