Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Tesla has disputed those claims, saying the driver manually overrode the system by pressing the accelerator.
This is referring to another crash mentioned in the article, but I'm sure Tesla will find this was the cause for this crash too.
Elon is never guilty of anything, people are dead and he has a trillion dollars...
Add it to the pile. It's a big pile. This happens a lot. Always somehow the driver's fault.
This is legitimately a common cause of crashes in every model of car. People accidentally press the accelerator when they try to press the brake, and when the car speeds up, they press even harder on what they think is the brake but is actually the accelerator. After the crash, the driver often still insists that they were pressing the brake and the car was at fault.
It's probably even more common in Teslas because the driver doesn't need to have their foot on either pedal in the time leading up to the incident, increasing the chances that their feet aren't aligned how they're used to.
Maybe....but old fat fucks mash the wrong pedal every day in any car. It's the reason why retail is now surrounded by anti-tank battlements.
Last month, 7 in hospital when someone ended up driving into a gym...
This happens 16,000 times a year in USA. Because drivers have never been older, and no one can drive manuals any more, and fat feet no longer fit on brake pedals.
As a fat old fuck, I just want to say I disagree; us fat old fucks don't generally have significantly fatter feet than average. I highly suspect that most old fucks would be as statistically dangerous drivers as fat old fucks.
Authorities have not said whether any driver-assistance technology was engaged at the time of Monday's crash.
IMO we shouldn’t jump the gun until it’s verified it’s their self driving and not the driver.
Years ago Tesla was caught turning off self driving the second before impact, to avoid responsibility. Any one really think Elon has grown as a person since then?
Teslas are programmed to disengage autopilot before a crash so headlines can say that tesla autopilot was not engaged at the time of the crash.
nah... jump the gun.
fuck corporations. they don't deserve any breaks or 'innocent until proven guilty'. they are ALWAYS guilty unless otherwise proven... always...
I mean, if everytime you check the corporations mystery box labeled "I acknowledge" you agree a thousand things you would never normally agree too, then why should we assume cooperation are not by default lying to you.
Ok dont jump the gun on blame...
But why the fuck are we allowing these car companies beta test their shit software on public roads??
SIMI valley made the news BRUH

There's a comedy show called simi valley about it, pretty funny
