This is Elons fault. This is blood on his hands.

He's going to pass the buck onto the driver.

He says that the end user didn't follow his on screen EULA and Warning.

He's been doing this since day one.

There's already been several deaths due to Tesla's "Auto-Pilot" systems.

Do you like it when Rich Silicon Valley CEO's experiment on the populace to test their products?

That's Tesla and many other Silicon Valley type CEO's in a nut shell.

IIRC the system wasn't even on for the last case. Dunno if that's on the driver or the car.

Look, I'm no Elon worshipper/fan/enabler, however, these cars are sold with instructions telling you to always be in the driver's seat.
How is customer misuse Musk's fault? That's like saying Nintendo is responsible for all the times Wii-motes smashed TV screens.

NHTSA is still investigating that one.

But when they found the charred bodies, nobody was in the drivers seat.

How many people ignore the EULA / Warning labels when they deal with a new program?

ALOT, and his safety mechanisms didn't work or were easily bypassed.

I've been surfing on top of mine like a Teen Wolf without any problems. If Elon didn't want me to do it he'd call me personally. He can see all my driving data. He knows what I'm doing. If I'm injured it's on him at this point.

I can't see how this should not be the standard societal reaction, tbh.
People misuse shit all the time. I had an ex that slapped me with a chicken breast, once.

People fear mongering over this are pathetic and regressive. Driverless vehicles are still the future and one case of misuse will not prevent that.

that's a strawman argument. this is about the situation NOW, not future iterations. tesla, despite all their EULA bullshit that the vast majority dont read because they're literally designed to be skipped, have been marketing their current line of cars as self driving. that is dangerous deceptive marketing.

Exactly! Tesla even called it "Auto-Pilot" despite the fact that the vast majority of average folks don't even understand how "Auto-Pilot" works in aviation.

It isn't what you think it is. There's far more monitoring required since Aviation "Auto-Pilot" only flies the plane to pre-programmed Way-Points in the sky.

It doesn't actually do all that much for you, the Pilot still has to pay attention for any emergency events.

It's not "KITT" from Knight Rider where it'll take care of everything.

Clearly not enough, because the guy in the article seems to genuinely believe that he's supposed to sit in the backseat. Even though, you have to trick the car's safety mechanisms to do so.

I'm all for fully self driving cars in the future (it's gotta be safer than some jackass barreling down a street at double the speed limit), but the Tesla systems, as they are, still require someone in the driver seat.

You do know you have to trick the vehicle into thinking you're still in the driver seat, right? These accidents are occuring with nobody in the driver seat, they're willfully misusing the vehicles. Being dumb and thinking it's designed to be operated the way despite having to rig it to do so doesn't change that.

Here's the last idiot who was arrested in San Francisco and refuses to change his behavior.

Listen to the sanctimonious stupid words that come out of his arrogant little mouth.
