He was doing 60 in a 30 and didn't make the turn.

It's super unlikely any system, Tesla, GM, Waymo, are going to do 60 in a 30, stop lane holding, and hit a house.

It's super likely he was 1 pedal driving like an -------, because the poorly designed regen system encourages it.

and the only Elon fanboy to post about how great these systems are, was Speaks. He loved his super safe Tesla until he didn't, and have the full character arc of Elon from Hero to Villain.

and good luck finding me saying that elon had solved self driving.

You did not say it was solved. You quoted Tesla statistics on how safe their self-driving programs were, several times. Wonderful story arc though.

and I'll keep following this one. Live near Katy, friends in Katy, it's all Harris county, blah blah blah. Ring doorbells have this going doing 60-70 in the neighborhood. I'd go 10 to 1 this guy is lying and blaming the car to attempt to get out of trouble, but telemetry will tell the tale.

afaik, there is no self driving software anywhere, from any brand, that overrides your brake pedal inputs. It's the other way around. You press the brake and the assists stop working. He never hit his brakes.

Definitely don't start randomly mashing the pedals in your 737MAX.

Tesla's Head of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, added context, revealing that the company's data shows the driver "manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100%." He revealed the speed reached by the car was 73 MPH, and the accelerator was still pressed "even after the crash."

Pretty much exactly like the 2021 Tesla crash here. All battery, no brakes.

You have no idea how evil Toyota is.

but it's still almost always user error.

Yeah, if you are in oh say.. an Audi, and the design sleeved the accelerator cable in plastic, and they grounded the car through the accelerator cable...

There's a short, the sleeve melts, the short stops, your gas pedal is now stuck, and you are going for a ride.

The glorious days before drive-by-wire.

From the wiki link, in one of those crashes the driver had 10.5 seconds to do something about it.

Playing with his phone was more important than safely operating his vehicle.
