The National Transportation Safety Board subsequently made similar recommendations to NHTSA following multiple fatal crash investigations involving Tesla vehicles equipped with Autopilot. As the senators pointed out, one likely reason drivers are misusing these systems is advertising that exaggerat...
Until there's a car that better meets my needs. So far, the Model S with its range, cargo capacity and Supercharger availability is in a class of its own - I need all of those things (for one of our cars, at least). Right now I'm assuming my wife will keep driving the M...
A Tesla crashed on Autopilot, killing the driver, and a self-driving Uber crashed, killing a pedestrian. Commercial face recognition systems performed terribly in audits on dark-skinned people, but tech giants continued to peddle them anyway, to customers including law enforcement. At the beginning...
Tesla’s Autopilot feature provides a glimpse into the autonomous driving future. By adopting elements of self-driving technology, Tesla empowers owners with the convenience of hands-free driving on select roadways. This revolutionary feature increases safety on long drives and makes commuting more enj...
Good cus- tomer service can only be provided by a human – no machine in the world can recognize what is hap- pening to someone's face or voice as well as a person can. Above all, we have to prepare for the fact that people are living longer. If you live to be 100 years old,...
Honestly, those in the Tesla community already know the answer. Aside from making sensational headlines (this is also common with Autopilot-involved accidents), there are interest groups and individuals who actively cheer Tesla’s failure. I can only understand (not condone) the groups that benefit...
I also would prefer to be able to "put away" whatever I'm using, so that there is literally no sign of it at all when it's not in use. If I were going to go the route of semi-permanently attaching something with adhesive, I could just mount a Tetrax fixed mount the same way...
Crash avoidance becoming more important might also favor companies that have more user-friendly driver assistance systems, e.g., in multiple generations of tests, Consumer Reports has given GM's Super Cruise system the highest rating while they've repeatedly noted that Tesla's Autopilot system faci...
Tesla has already passed the 100 million mile mark for cars driving in Autopilot mode and continues to log 2.6 million miles driven per day. Statistically speaking, the time when a self driving car kills somebody is rapidly approaching. And since most autonomous cars on the road are Teslas, ...
