The recall should be to delete “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving” capability from the vehicles. Any such capability that meets what’s being sold and insinuated from the name is decades away and shouldn’t be available to the public until Tesla is willing to indemnify users of the features.
So, in the seven years from 2017 to 2023, NHTSA has investigated only 35 such crashes and 17 such deaths. And, that’s why it needs to engage in a PR recall to add more “warnings.” Sigh. Meanwhile, tonight, heroin addicts will be driving cars, living overnight in their cars, and more than 17 of them will die of overdoses.
Straw man much?
A vehicle system that lulls people into a false sense of security and makes their reaction time worse (because they’re not engaged with the operation of the vehicle) is not a safety system.
Joe B: if you are driving a car and turn over the controls absolutely, then you have to deal with the consequences. I don’t care what your car says it does, you are still accountable for the end result of your trip driving the car. You hold the driver’s license, not Tesla or any other manufacturer. At the end of the day, your car can serve many purposes, but the worst is a weapon which can hurt or kill. Regardless of a car’s amenities, the licensed driver is still responsible for the safety of the vehicle. The blame is on the driver.
The driver is responsible for safely operating the vehicle.
The manufacturer can’t use that as a cop-out for not delivering a safe vehicle, which I’d argue Tesla is. There’s a reason that reputable cars have “lane assist” and don’t call it, I dunno, “full self driving” or “autopilot” and have safety controls that can easily be defeated.
Leave that aside. I believe any vehicle system that slows the reaction time of the driver is unsafe. People are just going to react slower to emergency situations if they are not continuously engaged with the operation of the vehicle or they’re distracted. There’s a reason that you can’t fiddle with Bluetooth settings in a lot of cars while you’re driving them. Why is that?
“Autopilot can steer, accelerate and brake automatically in its lane, but is a driver-assist system and cannot drive itself despite its name. Independent tests have found that the monitoring system is easy to fool, so much that drivers have been caught while driving drunk or even sitting in the back seat.”
IMO they are clearly trying to deliver self-driving cars using everyone else on the roads (and pedestrians) as unwilling beta testers, which fits the MO of the CEO.
I love the concept and the idea of self-driving cars. And I know that those developing such vehicles have made a ton of progress. It’s that last bit of progress that is going to take a ton of time, effort, and money to deliver … and given the consequences, I don’t believe it’s appropriate for such cars to be on public roads until that’s solved.
