Teslas be like

(elon doesn't believe in lidar)

"autopilot" shouldn't even be used on a narrow residential street like that.

Are people stupid enough to actually trust Tesla's autopilot, or do they do it on purpose to then sue Tesla?

Nevermind, I know the answer...

I thought they stopped calling it autopilot due to legal stuff and such, or has that not gone through yet?

That's bad that the car's software confused a closed garage door for a kid.

This is crazy, I was in a parking lot yesterday and saw someone have their Tesla driver right up to them to pick them up in the parking lot with no driver inside. Kind of pissed me off I was so near in the same parking lot that was operating on its own, with my wife and nieces. I know Elon Musk wouldn't give one fuck about me if his dumbass machine ran me or mine right over

Later he was fined by the HOA because the garage door being open since 20 minutes

The reporting states the driving mode in question was Tesla's "autopilot system," instead of the proper Autopilot, which is Tesla's less advanced driving system. Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is Tesla's more capable feature, although its name is a misnomer, since it's not capable of fully driving itself and requires constant supervision.

I feel like this section needs a rewrite. What is the distinction they're drawing between "Tesla's 'autopilot system'" and "Autopilot"?

Why is this person called a driver?

Autopilot*

*not actually autopilot

so fukn misleading. elon should be sued for billions

these fukn technocrats are all shitbags, and deserve to be taxed to hell

You couldn't pay me to drive a Tesla, and that's doubly true for Tesla on "autopilot".

Bet they are lying and just pressed the wrong pedal by themselves. Bet they were on their phone, the cruise control beeped and then they panicked and floored it. Insurance companies probably have to deal with a ton of Tesla owners who are blaming the Autopilot for a mistake the driver made, even when the cruise control wasn't used.

Oh Yeah!

Check the mobile phone records from the idiot driver. He was staring at his iPhone or Galaxy and failed to pay attention to the neo-Nazi shitbox making a directional change. If that's the case, revoke his damn license.

I'm not a fan of Elon or Tesla, just for the record. So I hate to actually be the one defending them. But I'm guessing on the same exact day about 12 people drove through their garage doors, NOT in Teslas.

I swear most Teslas I hear driving always have a “rattle” when they go over bumps. Sounds like bad build quality, I rarely hear other cars with the issue. For sure seem like poorly made cars.

I have an older Teala with AP, and I dont understand how this is possible...

You can't engage it on your driveway. It'll say its unavailable. You gotta be moving a bit first on a roadway.

If he was on the roadway and turning into his driveway, AP cant make turns, so thats not possible.

He could have had traffic aware cruise control on, and auto steer off so he could steer it, but then he's the one who drove it into the garage.

Edit: maybe a cul du sac where he's at the end and itd drive straight up, but he wouldn't have been able to turn onto it, which means he would have had to turn it on just for the small street?

Edit: and if they story is it went off the road into the garage on its own with a sudden turn... check that angle out. Its not like it came in on a shallow angle veering off the road, its almost 90 degrees to the garage from a short driveway...

I saw my first Tesla this week with the "I bought this before Elon went nuts" bumper sticker. I don't give a fuck when you bought that garbage, its a fucking dangerous piece of shit and shouldn't be on the roads with real cars. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for EVs taking over the market, just as long as they aren't teslas.

Looks like this homeowner got lucky the car didn't hit a wall. Replacing just a garage door is way easier than repairing structural damage to the walls... Hopefully the driver's insurance pays for all of it.

If the person driver is trying to escape culpability, too bad. They made the decision to use Tesla autopilot which is well known to go crazy and crash into things, so the fault remains with them.
