It really doesn't help that the media isn't putting "Self-Driving" Mode in quotes since it isn't fucking self-driving.
It is though: self driving into objects
"We never said it was good self-driving."
Isn’t that what Tesla called it?
Tesla calls it "Full Self Driving" and it's a lie. So capitalize it and put it in quotes, rather than call it self-drive mode like that's an actual thing.
The actual name: Full self driving (supervised) is so shady. Supervised is just a less crappy sounding way to indicate that you will have to take over and drive sometimes. So sometimes the car drives itself and sometimes you drive. So partial self driving, partial human driving. I'm surprised they didn't call it "Partial Full Self Driving". That would certainly amp up the trolling factor and really separate the true believers who would come out defending it with Olympic level mental gymnastics.
It is an actual thing, just not on Teslas. It must’ve chapped Musk’s ass something fierce that Mercedes-Benz got the DOT approval before him.

It's "self-driving", not "self-stopping". Luckily the police were able to assist with cruiser-based rapid deceleration.
Technically it is self-driving but just in the sense that it doesn't need any external power sources like horses to pull it.

And again, I thank rich people for being test subjects on new technology.
The victims involved in crashes aren't always rich. People in other cars or pedestrians and cyclists can be injured by these mistakes.
If only it were that simple. WE are all the test subjects in this case whether we like it or not.
No we’re not. They’re the rats, we’re the maze.
I mean, testing new technology wasn't really the issue here, the name of Tesla's 'self driving' mode is just a lie. This is an idiot driver who should have been paying attention and wasn't.
But we already knew he was an idiot, he did buy a Tesla.
"SLAMS"
Finally, some real journalism
"ACCAB" - That Tesla

Sure it is. All the coders these days grew up with it.

Flat cars theory
That must have been SO scary for the cop! He wouldn't know whether to shoot the car or the passenger!
¿porque no los everyone in line of sight including bystanders?
Maybe I've been too harsh on self driving Tesla's...
Tesla... Back (into) the Blue.
They give so much lenience to Tesla.
Yet Cruise was kicked out of California for someone else hitting a pedestrian into the Cruise vehicle and running. This was while also providing dashcam footage to capture the assailant.
I just heard from Enron Musk that it crashed into the patrol car way more safely than a human would have done.
Also according to Enron Musk Full self driving has been working since 2017, and is in such a refined state now, that you wouldn't believe how gracefully it crashed into that patrol car. It was almost like a car ballet, ending in a small elegant piruette.
As Enron Musk recently stated, in a few months we should have Tesla Robo Taxies in the streets, and you will be able to observe these beautiful events regularly yourself.
Others say that's ridiculous, he is just trying to save Enron, but that's too late.
All I do at night is open my garage door to let my car out. A few months later here I’m a millionaire. Thank you full self driving Roboenron 😍
Yes I remember that, and then he has repeated every year since, that they will be ready next year. But THIS year he changed his tune somewhat, and claimed it was a matter of months.
How is this con man not in jail?

Based robot car
Uh oh tesla self drive is woke
Everyone tried to warn Elon not to use Fury Road as training data.
Ugh I know people feel strongly about FSD and Tesla. As some one who uses it ( and still pays attention hands on wheels when activated) when FSD is active as soon as it sees anything resembling emergency lights it will beep and clearly disengage. I am not sure, but it's possible this person probably is just using Tesla as a scape goat for their own poor driving. However in my experience it will force the driver to take control when emergency lights are recognized specifically to avoid instances like this.
Doesn't Tesla usually look at the logs for a situation like this, so we'll know shortly?
"As you can see by looking at the logs, the FSD was disengaged 276ms prior to the crash, therefore the driver is at fault" /s

First useful thing Elon ever did
I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off sometimes life's okay.
