Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 months agoThat is a full self driving demo and has nothing to do with the Accidents. Full self driving and auto pilot are two different things. When you sign up for fsd you agree to not take your hands off the wheel and pay extra attention. Most of the accidents are autopilot which is enhanced cruise control.

I don’t really give a fuck what the terminology is to be frank. The technology leads to unsafe behavior.

I get it words don’t matter. Feelings are what’s important.
The autopilot on my Tesla is much better than the same technology on my Audi. Both technologies are easy to abuse. That isn’t Tesla’s fault. People need to follow the instructions.
Now there are a few cases where the technology completely failed when used correctly and that’s 100% Tesla’s fault in my opinion.
Are you arguing that it’s the people’s fault? Or are you just rambling because it’s Elon.
Or are you just arguing for god know what’s reason?

I’m saying the technology leads to more harm than good in its current implementation. I don’t care it’s better than your Audi, it still sucks overall. “Used correctly” shouldn’t be a huge factor in a good design. It should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. This is not the current state. It’s very easy to use incorrectly, as you admit, and the accidents demonstrate this.

For the Tesla it’s very easy to use correctly.
Compared to our old cruise control it’s a much better system.
Nothing can stop people from being idiots. Most of the accidents are people being idiots.
I have seen a few where 100% it was a Tesla failure and Tesla should be held 100% accountable for those.
