Of course Elon claims that. He has never taken responsiblity for anything going wrong.

For all we know, Autopilot is designed switch itself off the instant before impact, simply so that Elon can make these kinds of claims.

More likely, the Autopilot appeared unsafe, causing the driver to instinctively hit the brakes...

Your van is way too small. You actually lost space in the process.

Tesla Van should be bigger than a Sienna, not smaller than a 1st gen Odyssey.

The best part are the guts of it - planetary gearset!

Quite frankly, I do not understand why the US and EU don’t harmonize requirements. Nor do I understand why they don’t provide reciprocity. If a car passes US requirements, it should be salable in the EU. And vice versa. It’s not like either of those are inadequate standards to hold a carmaker, especially now that…

As opposed to the guys that might as well have put training wheels on their motorcycles?

Now, let’s watch them swim like a hippopotamus!

Actually, it’s the opposite. If anybody claims (i.e. “alleges”) a defect, Tesla is obliged to provide the information.

Indeed. This is one of the few things that NHTSA DOT actually has some passion for doing. If look forward to NHTSA doing a Corvair job on Tesla.

That was extremely careless, wreckless, and naive.

Autopilot on an airplane lets me be a passenger, simple as that.

Had it been marketed as “adaptive cruise control” with “lane-keeping” and “auto-braking”, that might have been fine.

That seems totally reasonable, given that somebody actually died due to Telsa’s “Autopilot” feature.

Beep... beep... beep... beep...

Greivous is a cool nemesis.

It’s not creepy if you’re from Appalachia...

FFS, how does this article not get written without using BvS as a the huge steaming example of what happens when a movie is entirely focused on setting up a “universe” instead of telling a straight-forward story.

Those explanations fall flat when basic Econ 101 would show that root cause is the vast expansion of guaranteed education money. Money got injected into higher education for loans, and the colleges took full advantage of it to raise prices. Simple as that.

But would it have the same ragingly homosexual overtones if Elon hooked up with Forbes?

Elon is such a little bitch.
