#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."

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.
Wie schon oben erwähnt, die KI wird von Militärs verwendet und ist mMn nicht bloß nur ein Testlabor sondern volle Absicht, egal von wem.

"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."

Drivers using Tesla autopilot are f-ing idiots. Self driving cars are f-ing nonsense. Maybe in controlled "tracks" like a dedicated expressway lane where the autopilot just stays in lane, follows speed limit, maintains following distance. Cut sleepy driver, highway hypnosis syndrome. That's a plus. Mixing it in chaotic traffic needs a whoooole lot more testing NOT with gen pop who did not sign up to be guinea pigs
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.”
Per article: "The 56-year-old told a state trooper he was behind the motorcycle on eastbound state Route 522 east of Maltby on April 19 when he looked down at his cell phone while the vehicle was rolling forward on auto-pilot. Distracted by his phone, "the next thing he knew, there was a bang," and the Tesla crashed into the motorcycle" 🤨
Article: "Using a vehicle in an auto-pilot is illegal in Washington state, according to Washington State Patrol. A spokesperson told KING 5 that a driver behind the wheel, even on auto-pilot, is responsible. "
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
