This test of Tesla’s self-driving tech is tough viewing: what Mark Rober did the fun way with his Wile E Coyote test of a fake wall in the middle of the road, the team over at The Dawn Project are doing the hard way by testing self-driving Teslas’ ability to stop for pedestrians at flashing […]
In the USA, the regulations are made up and the points don’t matter.
Can’t wait for one of these pieces of shit to hit me while I’m on campus. I already almost get hit at least once a day with how bad some people are at not stopping or checking.
It’s a school bus test. Children are easily distracted and may run across the street. Doesn’t mean that they deserve to die so Musk can sell poorly regulated cars
I do check, but would you have guessed that this has been a problem in our community for a long time? To the point that actual riots have broken out over the dangers of crossing that street? No? Of course you wouldn’t because almost no one bothers with local history.
Like this has been a problem since at least the fucking 60’s, caused riots in the 70’s because of how dangerous it got. After the riots they dropped the speed limit and that made it better for a time. 3 years ago they had to install new systems at the crosswalks to flash blinking lights and to audibly tell drivers to stop because it was getting dangerous again.
Maybe just maybe I am not the asshole for expecting drivers to pay attention and respect the fact that they are driving through a university. Maybe just maybe they shouldn’t be driving through the university if they can’t be bothered to pay attention.
Did you even read the article? The test was done under conditions that were intended to cause an accident. It’s to prove a point that doesn’t reflect real life conditions most of the time. The newly relaxed regulations you’re talking about weren’t taking into account any of the critical overall implications they were having on restricting Tesla and its major shareholders from increasing their wealth in exchange for a few dead bodies. It’s a good trade just ask Elmo.
I can’t wait to get run over crossing the road. Hooray for no safety and hooray for death. I’ve never felt more at risk of random death.
Isn’t that the Musk philosophy? Kill anyone who gets in the way, and sue everyone else who survives his death traps?

The lawsuits are gonna make a lot of people rich, so long as it doesn’t become a class action.
It’s gonna become a class action fairly quickly I’d imagine.
Even if it does, eligible parties are free to opt out of the class action and file their own individual suits.

How are you getting hit everyday? Don’t just run across the road without looking everytime? That’s just fucking stupid.

This person probably considers a car driving past as they wait to cross the street to be a near miss.
It’s the American way!

Just look both ways? You’re an adult you know this.
It’s the children who will die.
You’re probably much too old to get run over by a tesla
