        Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday’s crash.

            That still doesn’t mean every Tesla crash is caused by its driver-assistance technology

              No, it’s just means that determining if it was or wasn’t engaged is meaningless. And so is reporting on individual Tesla crashes as anything else than another car accident.

                Which model of Ford is being advertised as Full Self Driving and is crashing into people?

                  You do realise he talked specifically about crashes that are caused by a feature advertised as self-driving and not every crash ever by a car brand, don’t you?

                    You do realize this was a reply to the following comment:

                    Is ford guilty of every crash too?

        But i don’t see them being posted here… how strange! The last one i recall seeing was the woman who drove her range rover through fence and children in London when she allegedly has seizure behind the wheel.

        It’s not just weird nerds now. Regular people who are just sick of having to drive for their daily commute will defend FSD and refuse to hear the dangers of their poorly implemented code and driver monitoring cameras. To them, convenience trumps safety and privacy.

          There was no evidence FSD was involved in this crash.

          There are 16,000 wrong pedal crashes in the US every year, 77% are in parking lots. This is so bad most retail strip malls now have cement and steel bollards surrounding the shops.

          This is a problem, but it’s not a Tesla problem.

          My hospital now has these bollards because once a month some idiot parks too far from the parking payment machine, exits a car while the transmission is in drive. We tried signs. The public is very difficult to underestimate.
