If Tesla is telling the truth about the driver’s behavior then yeah, sure, they are almost certainly in the clear here. However, they have definitely not earned the trust required for me to just take them at their word that such is the case, so the facts can come out in litigation.
If the driver is liable and has to take over when the system fucks up, I don’t know how you can call it “full” self driving.
I read, years ago, that Tesla will switch it back to driver control in the seconds before impact, so they can’t be blamed with self driving. I’ve seen this accusation more than once.
Accusations are not truth. This has never been proven no matter how many times it has been claimed.
It’s creepy that Tesla is immediately telling the world what this guy did in his car. It shows that they really are spying on all Tesla drivers all the time and they’ll publish that information at the drop of a hat to save face.
while I agree with you, this guy had his foot on the accelerator 100% of the way. in this case, if true, I’d have to side with tesla here
The sensor said he had his foot on the pedal.
Tesla claims the sensor said he had his foot on the pedal.
Yes, that’s what I said. There are two implications:
-
Sensors never fail which is known not to be true.
-
Tesla doesn’t lie about accident data which is also known to not be true.
-
