Eight car pile up found to be due to Tesla driver assist software
It&#x27;s not &quot;driver assist&quot;, it&#x27;s &quot;full safe driving&quot;. That&#x27;s what Tesla markets it as, they explicitly distinguish it from &quot;autopilot&quot; which they retroactively decided was &quot;driver assist&quot; (after it injured people).<p>Tesla and Musk then try to blame drivers for trusting them with their lives by saying &quot;you must be ready to take control at a moments notice&quot;, and &quot;you must be focused on driving&quot; while also not doing anything - things that are challenging for professional pilots, and the latter demonstrably impossible. That (1) it is legal, (2) not grounds for a return + full refund, and (3) not grounds for criminal charges against Tesla remains absurd.<p>The fact that Tesla continues to get to falsely claim it improves safety, despite having been caught not including crashes where AP&#x2F;FSD disengaged moments prior to crashes, and not doing the most basic like-for-like comparisons, is also absurd.<p>We then got to see testimony on HN today that shows that Tesla knows it is committing intentional fraud: it knows that it has aggressively marketed FSD using fraudulently created videos, and made false claims using those videos as &quot;evidence&quot; of safety.<p>The fact that they&#x27;re not subject to government monitoring, and Musk is still fellated by his fanboys as a genius remains an appalling indictment of tech and safety legislation.
