The U.S. government’s road safety agency is again investigating Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” system, this time after getting reports of crashes in low-visibility conditions, including one that killed a pedestrian.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents that it opened the probe on Thursday with the company reporting four crashes after Teslas entered areas of low visibility, including sun glare, fog and airborne dust.
In addition to the pedestrian’s death, another crash involved an injury, the agency said.
Investigators will look into the ability of “Full Self-Driving” to “detect and respond appropriately to reduced roadway visibility conditions, and if so, the contributing circumstances for these crashes.”
If I’m get killed by a driver on their phone, I want them to go to prison.
If I’m killed by a Waymo or whatever, who goes to jail then?
If we really must have self driving cars, limit their speed to 20mph in built up areas.
If you’re dead, why the fuck do you care who goes to jail? Shouldn’t we care more about people dying than revenge after?
Don’t reason deterrentists, they cause wars and send millions to prison
I wouldn’t care. I hope my wife and family would.
“He died for a good cause: Tesla’s stock price” is not what they want to hear.
Number of people killed by Waymos self driving: 0? Number of people appear to think Waymo’s self driving has killed: hundreds?
Tesla’s don’t have the tech to make it safe enough, but Waymo hasn’t been the ones at fault for all this fear mongering.
