Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I mean, I guess "impeccable safety record" is in the eye of the beholder?

This whole chain is a response to

Teslas are programmed to turn off autopilot half a second before a crash so statistics can say “autopilot was off at the time of the crash”.

And no one has anything to support that.

Please add a citation to support that before you insist on citations to support disagreeing with an unsupported claim

Note my previous response (accidentally responded to the nhtsa thing in the past with an edit)

Im not disagreeing that FSD can disengage just before a crash, just arguing that I’ve not seen them try to shift blame based on it and I remember reading somewhere that it’s intentional to try to mitigate the aftermath

Done playing chess with a pigeon and you trying desperately to strawman.

Simply provide your citations for your original argument.
