#Tesla#EVs#AI#Autopilot#SelfDrivingCars: "Tesla Inc. must face a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging that it misled consumers about its cars’ self-driving capabilities, a fresh setback for the electric-car maker just as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has staked the company’s future on autonomy.
Tesla has been accused of overstating in 2016 that all its upcoming cars would have the “hardware needed for full self-driving capability” and would be able to drive themselves from Los Angeles to New York City by the end of 2017.
“If Tesla meant to convey that its hardware was sufficient to reach high or full automation,” the complaint “plainly alleges sufficient falsity,” US District Judge Rita Lin wrote in an order Wednesday."
»Autopilot-Technologie - Software für Kamikaze-Drohnen made in Switzerland:
Günstige Mini-Drohnen sind mittlerweile ein fester Bestandteil moderner Kriegsführung – auch dank Schweizer Software.«
Leider wird Technik immer auch von Militärs missbraucht und Menschenfeindlich eingesetzt, auch wenn es unter guten Gewissen erforscht/etwickelt wird.
"Federal auto safety investigators say in a new report that they've identified hundreds of crashes — 13 of them deadly — in which Tesla's Autopilot system failed to protect its drivers and passengers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) flagged 467 crashes over a period of about 15 months from 2022-23."
Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving has been linked to hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths, according to a federal investigation published today.
“In total, NHTSA investigated 956 crashes, starting in January 2018 and extending all the way until August 2023,” reports @theverge. “Of those crashes, some of which involved other vehicles striking the Tesla vehicle, 29 people died. There were also 211 crashes in which ‘the frontal plane of the Tesla struck a vehicle or obstacle in its path.’ These crashes, which were often the most severe, resulted in 14 deaths and 49 injuries.”
@verge I'm not surprised. If there was a class action lawsuit, I'd be there. I haven't had an accident because of the #autopilot yet, but there have been enough situations where I was on the verge of one. And I've only had my #Tesla for two months. @pallenberg
Autopilot-Unfall: So wichtig ist dieser Vergleich für Tesla
Tesla hat einen Prozess wegen eines tödlichen Unfalls im letzten Moment abgewendet. Experten hegen Zweifel an Teslas Argumentation, wonach bei Unfällen mit dem Autopiloten stets der Fahrer schuld sei. Von Angela Göpfert.
The #eclipse was super fun; we’re glad we came. I got to sit in the right seat while my wife did all the flying and I managed comms. She’s become a HUGE fan of the #autopilot. #flyga#eclipse2024
#FSD#V12_3 through #V12_3_3
Where is my #adaptive#cruise#control???? I used to pull down the shift lever once to get it, and twice for FSD/#Autopilot. Now it has a single pull down going to FSD. Of course they could have borked the adaptive cruise control speeds like they borked speed under FSD. I have no way to find out now.
Two instances where our car was saved by AI. One where the driver forgot they had a trailer and moved to our lane because some other driver wanted to smell their ass.
The car took preventing measures to avoid a crash before I even noticed. Icy roads, car did great. And yes, I know we are here due to X & Elon perhaps, but merit to the Tesla team. They make the safest cars out there. #tesla#autopilot
@itnewsbot#Musk can gladly pack his bags and leave. He doesn't own any of it. The #Autopilot stack? Nope. #FSD computers? Nope. #Dojo? Nope. Optimus? Nope.
All he owns is X.AI, a new chatbot startup - a latecomer in a crowded field.
"#ElonMusk has been promising since 2016 that his cars could drive themselves safely. It's always been a lie, a top automotive journalist writes. In many ways, it's the exact opposite of how Tesla's #Autopilot system works."

#Tesla#recall of nearly all vehicles sold in US — 2,000,000+. The system that is supposed to monitor drivers using Autopilot is “defective.”
“Documents posted Wednesday by U.S. safety regulators say the update will increase warnings and alerts to drivers and even limit the areas where basic versions of #Autopilot can operate.”
