This is speculation, but were most of them from people who disabled the safety features?
Probably not
There are some real Elon haters out there. I think they're ugly as sin but I'm happy to see more people driving vehicles with all the crazy safety features, even if they aren't perfect.
You're in control of a massive vehicle capable of killing people and destroying property, you're responsible for it.
"self-driving cars" are not going to be a thing within our lifetimes. It's a problem that requires MUCH smarter AIs than we currently have.
I guess we should ban autopilot so we can go back to nobody having accidents in cars.
So we should let musk endanger people needlessly for tesla's profits?
a human driver isn't 100% but you can at least hold the human liable for their mistakes. Is Musk going to be liable for the accidents this causes?
Because that's the human left in the loop, the fool self drive champion.
I just read on LinkedIn a post from a Tesla engineer laid off.
He said "I checked my email while auto piloting to work".
The employees know more than anyone its capabilities and they still take the same stupid risk.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In March 2023, a North Carolina student was stepping off a school bus when he was struck by a Tesla Model Y traveling at “highway speeds,” according to a federal investigation that published today.
The Tesla driver was using Autopilot, the automaker’s advanced driver-assist feature that Elon Musk insists will eventually lead to fully autonomous cars.
NHTSA was prompted to launch its investigation after several incidents of Tesla drivers crashing into stationary emergency vehicles parked on the side of the road.
Most of these incidents took place after dark, with the software ignoring scene control measures, including warning lights, flares, cones, and an illuminated arrow board.
Tesla issued a voluntary recall late last year in response to the investigation, pushing out an over-the-air software update to add more warnings to Autopilot.
The findings cut against Musk’s insistence that Tesla is an artificial intelligence company that is on the cusp of releasing a fully autonomous vehicle for personal use.
