according to the description and comments, the driver took back control by turning the wheel when they realized the autopilot was gonna send them off the cliff

when they turned the wheel, the car turned off autopilot...and helpfully turned the regular cruise control back on, to whatever speed it had been set to before autopilot was engaged, which was faster than the speed autopilot had been driving at

the driver, unprepared for the unexpected acceleration, overcorrected steered it into the cliff

remember, if the human takes control at the last second and still crashes, that means it's not autopilot's fault

Correct me if I'm wrong: Autopilot was not on when the car crashed. You took over the steering when it went on the right shoulder. After that you over corrected and hit the hill on the left.

why would this not be an incredibly obvious design flaw

why would you assume that disengaging autopilot meant you wanted to restart cruise

Don’t think of it as the share losing value, think of it as increasing potential for future increase when Elons announces that the model 3 will get teleporting as an ÔTA upgrade in two months if you just buy them now, please

because no sane insurer will offer insurance at any reasonable price for those shitboxes

To prevent anyone else from getting data on autopilot accidents, making it easier to blame the drivers?

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

he won't, he just said that because someone told him teslas were expensive to insure

the rates go up each year too because the cars are basically totaled in even minor accidents and the complete absence of supply chain means the few authorized repair centers won't take them for fear of having them sit for months on end for so much as a bumper.

I'd put money on Tesla insurance using modular pricing depending on what features your car has on and then they'll gently caress up the billing really badly
