NTSB closes probe into fatal Tesla 2020 California crash

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Nov 17 '21, 05:41

"The Tesla was going at about 68 miles per hour (109 km/h) behind the minivan when the driver increased the vehicle speed to 72 mph (115 km/h) and the Model 3 triggered Automatic Emergency Braking, which dropped the speed.

The driver increased pressure on the accelerator to 95 percent, struck the minivan and then exited the highway traveling at speeds recorded up to 114 mph (183 km/h) before striking the pickup."

No action was taken (www.itnews.com.au)

I can't see Autonomous driving ever replacing regular driving on roads. A nice to have like Cruise Control, just too many variations on road looks -- nm - budice Nov 17, 05:45 11
- I'll let you know. I should be added to the FSD beta this weekend. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 06:03
- I mean that’s the whole of it, right? Trying to do something we don’t yet imagine happening. Is it an unsolvable, or a matter of time. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 05:47 9
  - I think it’s a matter of time, but a longer time than most people think. - mafic Nov 17, 05:49 8
    - I’ll have you know I only get it right 97% of the time! -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 05:57 2
      - You can interpolate from missing data! The damn machine doesn’t know what to do when it can’t read the code. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 06:02 1
        
        UPC tech is flawed and it’s just a basic pull from a database! -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 06:03
    - Plus I think that at some point the entire "system" around driving changes to accommodate it whether that be road design, additional cooperating tech, - oblique Nov 17, 05:51 2
      - I don’t know the first thing about the tech, but I do wonder if the design is flawed from the start because of this. - Qale Nov 17, 05:59 1
        
        Basically yes. It doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to consider a road that tells the car the information it needs instead of the car - oblique Nov 17, 06:02
    - plus you will always have the a-holes who override as they are better drivers than some stupid computer made specifically for driving -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 05:51 1
      - If anything it seems that the a-holes currently are overriding in the opposite direction. Pushing the cars to do the driving when they shouldn’t be. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 06:00
