This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was “off”
Most states apply liability to whoever is in the driver seat anyway. If you are operating the vehicle, even if you’re not controlling it at that moment, you are expected to maintain safe operation.
That’s why the Uber self driving car that killed someone was considered the test driver’s fault and left Uber mostly off the hook.
Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.
The driver is always at blame, even if it was on. They turn it off for marketing claims.
PS: fuck elon
I didn’t know this, but I’m not shocked, or even a little bit surprised.
Mark Rober had a video on autopilot of several cars and he used his Tesla. The car turned off the autopilot when he crashed through a styrofaom wall.

It turns it off with the parking sensor 2ft before the accident.
Holy shit I did indeed look it up, and it’s true. Dunno if it’ll hold up but it’s still shady as shit

Not sure how it works for the robo taxis, though.
Yeah that’s gonna be tricky with those. I live in Vegas where they’re already operating. No steering wheel at all.
