After Musk Spends Millions on Trump Campaign, Trump Now pushes to scrap #safety reg Musk opposes requiring car mfrs report to #NTSA crashes its cars are involved in when on #autopilot.

B/c Tesla on auto-pilot has the worst record of all.

Seems Maddow hit it on the head: make enough "smoochie noises" around Trump, and you also can buy yourself a US president.

→ New study shows Tesla makes some of the most dangerous cars on the road

“[H]ard data seems to show that—whether due to vehicle design, driver behavior, or a combination of these two factors—Teslas suffer twice as many fatal accidents compared to other brands.”

“Musk and Tesla’s repeated #autopilot claims may have led drivers to over-rely on a system that […] is not much better than a drunk raccoon driving a clown car.”

»Autopilot-Technologie - Software für Kamikaze-Drohnen made in Switzerland:

Leider wird Technik immer auch von Militärs missbraucht und Menschenfeindlich eingesetzt, auch wenn es unter guten Gewissen erforscht/etwickelt wird.

🧵Here is my take on this development… this case should have never made it to judges and juries.

It *does* make it to judges and juries because of the deliberate disinterest of the US’s theoretical auto safety regulator - the #NHTSA.

We are dealing with *extraordinarily* complex and highly-opaque system engineering issues here.

Now, let’s look at the underlying #SystemsSafety part.

#Autopilot and #FSDBeta-equipped vehicles are Level 2-capable vehicles - with the exact same *limitations* as many other vehicles on the market today.

Namely, the key limitation is that the human driver must remain the fallback for any dynamic driving task or vehicle failures at all times and under all conditions.

Effectively, that means that the human has the exact same control responsibilities between the two vehicles shown below.

First off, let us look at #Tesla’s “official” statement, from their website, as to the *true* limitations of #Autopilot and the #FSDBeta products.

Hmm. That does not sound like Tesla itself is confident that their vehicles can drive themselves at any time. 🤔

Because the vehicles cannot.

But #Musk and Tesla play this dangerous, deceptive mind game with the public - and it is indeed a mind game.

A screenshot taken from Tesla's official Autopilot information page on Tesla.com which states: Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving Capability are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.
