The more important person to punish is the one who let them do it

I always assumed that was the case. We are still experimenting with human drivers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

"In late 2021, Lukasz realised that—even as a service technician—he had access to a shockingly wide range of internal data at Tesla," the group's prize announcement said.

Krupski was also featured last month in a New York Times article titled, "Man vs. Musk: A Whistleblower Creates Headaches for Tesla."

But Krupski now says that "he was harassed, threatened and eventually fired after complaining about what he considered grave safety problems at his workplace near Oslo," the NYT report said.

Krupski "was part of a crew that helped prepare Teslas for buyers but became so frustrated with the company that last year he handed over reams of data from the carmaker's computer system to Handelsblatt, a German business newspaper," the report said.

The data Krupski leaked included lists of employees and personal information, as well as "thousands of accident reports and other internal Tesla communications."

Krupski told the NYT that he was interviewed by the NHTSA several times, and has provided information to the US Securities and Exchange Commission about Tesla's accounting practices.

The original article contains 705 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

It’s funny how some of Elongated Muskrat’s testing and experiments involve the subjects dying.

Monkeys dying with the Neuralink experiments, and humans are dying with these autopilot tests!

Lemmy as a whole appears to irrationally hate Tesla because of their stupid CEO. I think his penchant for calling what is essentially "advanced autopilot" FULL SELF DRIVING should be illegal. But he's a car salesman and for some reason the government is letting him call it that. Be mad at our lawmakers for that. He's just a sheister and our lawmakers suck at reining him in. Tesla cars themselves are actually really good. Very safe cars that don't roll over because of the heavy battery located so low, very responsive acceleration, and some nice quality of life low hanging fruit in the technology department, like my phone being a key. I was told by my Tesla rep when I bought the car to not buy FSD. It's experimental and will not ever probably be driving you to your destination safely. The fact that they sell it with a name that implies it will is the problem. And people believe it. That's incredibly dangerous.

Non-consentual Human Experimentation is a war crime.

Random question I've always wondered about in case anyone is more familiar with these systems than me. My understanding is that autopilot relies on optical sensors exclusively. And image recognition tends to rely on getting loads of data to recognize particular objects. But what if there's an object not in the training data, like a boulder in a weird shape? Can autopilot tell anything is there at all?
