I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.
After all, they haven't fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.
They should throw in a loony tunes landscape for extra comedic value.
Mark Rober already did that.
Waymo, which I think grew out of the original Google self-driving car project, has been operating robo-taxis for several years. They’re available in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a few more cities. I wonder how they did on the schoolbus test. Not able to find anything online about that.
Atlanta is the latest launch city, they are all white Jaguar i-Paces.
Elon is not going to personally take responsibility for his cars?
So motorcyclists weren’t enough, they’re going after kids now? Did they move their headquarters to israel?
rofl
How the fuck, will this get the go ahead? In the US you can sue anyone for anything, how long before a class action gets filed against Tesla and their death traps?
Oh don’t worry, the grifters will all have cashed out and be floating away on golden parachutes long after the decades of litigation is over.
Tesla owns the gov rn, litigation against tesla will be domestic terorism
These things need tires.
Tires are rubber.
Texas has a lot of guns.
You can literally wear a mask and just put tape over a couple cameras while it’s stopped at a light and the whole thing will just freak out
Faster to apply and much harder to remove.
The children were hamas obviously
“And if you don’t support their actions, you support terrorists, mmmkaaaaayyyy” — Bill Maher
They were behind white genocide in South Africa
Let’s not get carried away pretending America cares too much about children dying frfr.
Yeah the draconian punishment and outcry when someone dares to overtake a school bus is absolutely laughable.
Give that child chance to be shot the next day in school! Or starve to death, because they can’t afford school lunches.
If we did the Carolina Lean is a bigger threat than Elon, but somehow that’s legal in most states.
Yeah once they’re out of the womb, fuck 'em. We only care about the unborn.
They don’t actually care about the unborn either. They just want women to suffer, it’s been their only goal.
ok maybe this is easier to address: is there any safety test that a self driving Tesla doesn’t fail?
They’re very effective at preventing pregnancy and STIs.
Luckily you can sabotage a robot car the same way you can sabotage a normal car. Actually there’s more ways than a normal car.
Continue…
This accidents could be the dell knell for Tesla with the lawsuits that will follow
Hooray for the free market!
I’m sure all the dead children would have been proud to be collateral damage for such an important event!
Texas releasing these things in public is horrifying. Tesla is last in this field, and refuses to add LIDAR, which is obviously what is needed.
My $60 robot vacuum has lidar…
Maybe you can get a business going mounting roombas on Tesla bumpers?
Lidar is one of the things it needs, but even when they properly see what’s ahead they don’t interpret it correctly and don’t take the correct actions, it’s bigger than just lidar, which is honestly terrifying
They’re only following the Norm theory (rest in peace), helping us kill the dummies so as a specie we grow intellectually
I believe that was a Cliff theory.
I stand corrected! Need to rewatch the whole show now
Move fast and break things!
A German party campaigned under the slogan “Digital first. Bedenken second”. Bedenken means concerns.
They were punished pretty hard last election.
Move fast and break things schoolchildren!
Did you mean: Move fast and murder children?
“fail faster” was always my favourite
I still don’t get how anyone thought this notion was ever considered a good strategy for anything… it clearly shows these people have no skin in the game because there is no way they would break their own things
I’m developing a game engine, that is currently unpopular, instead of trying to make the old API work with the new rendering system, I just decided to completely redo a lot of stuff. It was mandatory for the GUI subsystem as previously it was a spaghetti code of mess, now it’s a pretty well usable thing. It was less mandatory with the sprite and tile rendering, but I needed to adjust stuff to OpenGL, as previously it used the CPU.
This is exactly what it is. Move fast, and break other people’s things. Then never fucking take responsibility
Well DUH! It’s trained off of the asshats who drive them, and most of them blow right past flashing red school buses and stop signs.
This is a fitting allegory for AI.
I wonder if the FSD disengaged mere seconds before impact so Tesla can blame anything but their shitty software.
It’s a Tesla, so probably mistook the doll for an immigrant. In other words: Within specs
Much like the mass shootings in the U.S., there’s literally no solution for this. /s
Where is Luigi
Well, what are we 'aposta do?!
Strangle these defenseless corporations with the same kind of regulations we continue to create and impose on small businesses? Do you even know who their father is?!
You got the strangle part right.
Worth saving this article for future class actions. Go go go!
only a tesla could collide with the very road it’s driving on
I get that’s not what “hit the road” means but I stand by what I said
Kids just gotta run faster is all.
So, the USA people are the beta testers, i guess.
Put some respect to their name, off course they are alpha (males!).
only Texans…
Texas state legislature has passed a law making it illegal for cities to pass laws more restrictive than the state laws and Austin which is known to be full of progressives. This makes it a perfect place for Tesla to beta-test it’s software. They’ll kill people likely to vote for Democrats.
Thoughts and prayers.
Might also explain why they’re the only ones that seem to have all this knowledge of a population crisis that no one else is aware of.
Thank God for the technocratic elite, and their foresight to know their plans for greatness will almost certainly wipe out the entire U.S. population. Hazard of being part of the unwashed masses, I guess.
Glad they are doing all this while they simultaneously argue that a loss of our personal liberty is a small price to pay for their protection. If they weren’t keeping us safe from… ::gestures vaguely:: China(?) then who would?
Kid should have moved for the musk mutilater 2.00.
Did they try it with a lighter colored child?
No worries, it happens a lot, people are just drawn to me
Listen. If we cared about safety we do something about it. This is where we are.
I guess there’s going to be a lot of heroes popping Robo-Taxi tires. To protect their community and all that.
I recall that people blocked Waymo cars at one point by simply placing orange cones in front of them. Given Teslas only use cameras I wonder if you could just slap a sticker of an orange cone (or just a splash of orange paint) on the hood and confuse it enough that it wouldn’t move…
Given Teslas only use cameras
This still blows my mind. My fucking robot vacuum uses LiDAR, and multi-ton vehicles on public roads use cameras? Jesus Christ.
They know these things are going to kill people; it’s just inevitable.
Engineers are well aware of there being a cost-benefit analysis for saving human lives. O’Grady from Practical Engineering did a great video explaining how much a human life is worth to engineers.
The purpose of reducing government oversight as much as possible is so that the cost of killing people is as low as possible.
It’s not an on/off switch of government regulation. They know that every additional policy they can shift in their favor will translate to increased profits down the line as people inevitably die from these things.
Damn, must suck living in the US
I lived there for six-ish years- from 1998 until 2004.
When Americans re-elected GWB, I realized “this place is RAPIDLY becoming a shithole that’s only going to get worse.” I got the hell out as soon as I was able, and every single day since, I’ve been more relieved I left when I did.
Correction: Robo-Taxis the child in 2 weeks
