I picture Elmo replying to this lawsuit in an exagerated South African accent ‘Diplomatic Immunity “

Nope.

Yeah, if the system doesn’t know what’s flashing it should stop. Whether it’s hazard lights on the side of the road (or some moron going 35 on the highway because they have a flat), a snow plow, an ambulance, or “I don’t know”, it should force a takeover. Even if the system does know it’s a stopped tow truck, drivers…

Maybe, but I have my money on SCOTUS absolving corporations of any and all liability, now and forever.

“These sorts of lawsuits are inevitable” because you can’t disclaim your way out of negligence, especially when you have a dumbass CEO directly contradicting company statements and is using public roads for beta testing.

It won’t matter, republican judges will ultimately dismiss claims against their DOGE czar of any wrongdoing

Flashing lights are everywhere in a city. Even if they aren’t actually flashing, there are objects (cars, people, trees) getting in between the light source and the sensor such that it could be interpreted as flashing. The system would be useless in a city.

but ultimately his words do not hold as much legal weight as a disclaimer agreed to by the user

warning is one thing, but for a car that advertised this on their main website:

I’m not going to comment on whether it’s the driver’s fault or Tesla’s fault - I’m sure everyone else will cover that.

I mean, I would have assumed the Cybertruck could be exposed to water or sunlight without falling apart, but we all know how that worked out. I’m sure SpoiledSeafood will come to tell us all about it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the cars themselves lie as much as their God does. If there is a disclaimer, I would be…

I’m in the car business. Most dealers have up to a week to bring back used cars if there’s an issue. The fact that this guy wanted to return the car hours later and the dealership wasn’t willing to assist is definitely a shitty move. The dealer woudn’t have processed any paperwork in that amount of time.

i mean if a health insurance ceo deserve to be shot on an open street to the peoples jubilation giving car salesmen the runns seems about right

Gifting the sales staff with a 10 pound bag of Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears would be more appropriate.

First they came for the healthcare CEO’s, and I did not speak out—because I was not a healthcare CEO.

“What was the “take my jacket off and throw it on the car’s roof...only to return and retrieve it shortly thereafter“ part for?”

I think he was getting ready for a fight in case someone came at him. Notice how he also pushed up his sleeves.

When I was 15 shopping for my first car with my mom, we went to a subaru dealership to test drive a cheap little justy. The oil burning was so bad we had to turn around a block later. The cabin was filled with smoke and I had a massive headache. They still had the audacity to try and push for the sale.

around 20 years ago I purchased a used Subaru from a local Subaru dealer. I found out about 2 weeks after purchasing it that it was burning oil. They gave me the run around for weeks and in the end they didn’t fix it and they would not take the car back ( a 2500$ car at the time ).

I spoke with their sales manager…

Aaah, the Discount Tire method...
