Aren't they basically suicide booths at this point?

Tesla stock holders: “Bullish!”

Everyone else: “But why though?”

Ok libs way to get triggered by problems the incredibly smart AI programmers at Tesla will figure out in a matter of weeks, months most.

The ROBOTS didn't fail here and you would know that if you were as smart as I am.

What failed was Elon Musk does not understand that trains exist and thus neither are his cars allowed to. This isn't OUR fault ok? Rules are rules.

Evidence: see hyperloop

That the article says "hit by train" sounds like an example where news articles assigns unecessary blame to the train.

Stop. Driver, in Tesla, shall be supervising "Self-Drive Mode" (level 2 assistance BTW) at any time.
I hope they have good insurance, driver to blame here.

Nah, Tesla advertises it with a wink and a nod that it’s actually full self driving.

What type of insurance covers destruction of car by deliberate driver choice?

Little8Lost@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

Sadly thats legally correct.
I really would love if tesla had to pay for something like this.
Its not even the first to drive on tracks

Shouldn't a self-driving car be, you know, trained to recognize things it shouldn't automatically drive on? Like train tracks? Wonder how you're going to blame the passenger when the robotaxi does this.
