Elmo: "Oops!"

Is this the hyperloop that was promised?

Trains stay winning

Just to clear things up, the Tesla turned off of the road and onto train tracks.

Tesla's "Full Self Driving" mode requires the driver to pay attention the entire time. For common things like not stopping on train tracks, the driver is expected to perform this. Obviously, that's not "Full Self Driving", but it's something that you can get used to.

On the other hand, turning onto train tracks is unforgivable. In an unfamiliar area, the driver may be confused about what is the correct place to turn, especially in the early morning as this was, and it might be natural to defer to the car's superior knowledge of the map and GPS. As a driver, it would be hard to imagine that the car would turn you on to train tracks.

Who's paying for all the destruction that these vehicles are causing? Does insurance cover the liability from self-driving cars?

Inb4 they put Grok inside the things and it just wants to off itself so badly because Elon is force feeding it right wing talking points.

Fortunately no one was injured in this incident, but reminds me of: 🎶 Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die 🎶

Can the driver not simply use the brakes? Why was abandoning the vehicle the best option?

Tesla is a danger to public safety.

Oh well. At least the train is okay.

I wonder how this happened. I assume the occupant(s) were aware that they can still drive, just grab the wheel and press the accelerator. Maybe it stopped on the tracks and there wasn't room for them to go anywhere?

Well, Swasticars don't believe in trains.youtube.com/watch?v=c3pj7Q4p76@Rozauhtuno !fuckcars@lemmy.world @fuckcars
