Somehow doubtful, as at this point Autopilot has crashed more than me.
My car was rear-ended by a human driver in a Dodge Stratus last week. I’m available for interviews for the forthcoming big article you’ll want to publish about it.
This is news because no one else in any other type of car has ever hit a stationary vehicle on the side of the road. Ever. Got it. Damn you Tesla!!!
Still love my Model X.
Well... so far it’s;
This is some high grade user error here. It is easier for the driver to blame the car when the law says it is his job to drive his own car.
I’m surprised Tesla hasn’t “reminded” this guy that they log everything. Expect a hurried statement that he was “mistaken” and didn’t actually have the car in autopilot.
Given the damage on that Tesla, how it’s wedged under the firetruck, it’s a safe bet that the car did start braking at some point.
Five bucks says it turns out she’d turned it off.
Ok, I’ll be the first to say it. I completely don’t believe this guy. I can just see Musk confirming via twitter that home boi here had disabled auto pilot and was just a dumbass.
claims the car was in its semi-autonomous Autopilot mode when it happened
Tesla owners saying their car was in “Auto-Pilot” during crashes is the equivalent scapegoat to Trump claiming #FakeNews on everything that becomes inconvenient to him.
My main takeaway from this, other than the obvious “people are stupid”, is that modern cars are crazy safe. This dude slammed into a stationary object at 65 miles per hour and “refused medical attention”. Thats amazing.
May I add:
“Sure, the NFL is rigged, but it’s rigged in favor of a handful of teams, not just one,” is not a defense of the NFL.
Pro-tip to the fucknuts at ICE: Picking up a 40+ year old white doctor with two decades-old legal dings is not going to make you look any less racist and is definitely not making you look like you’re out there rounding up ‘bad hombres’.

It’s called an educated guess. I read enough to know what I’m talking about. But I’m not arrogant enough to assume I’m right.
1. How are these things transactions? To me they sound like just data. What is being transacted?
