Out of morbid curiosity, is there any confirmed instances of fatalities or injuries due to people using FSD?

I’m not totally sure, there are a ton of Tesla fatalities, but obviously Tesla keeps the data hush hush when they can. There have been dozens of tests that people have done showing instances (usually common) that trip it up and can cause it to put everyone at risk.

Construction signage, bad paint, damaged road signs, all can cause it to just suddenly decide to kill you and others around it.

Yeah I’ve seen a few of those videos, it definitely doesn’t seem safe. I guess to the credit of the Telsa freaks testing it, they do know to intervene and people that aren’t Tesla freaks are probably more likely to be caught unaware of the shortcomings of the software.

I remember seeing something about Tesla offering to cover issues not covered by the warranty in exchange for people signing NDAs which is probably happening for FSD related incidents too.

Yep, we only hear about the lethal ones that Tesla decides to tell us about.

Literally the best website I’ve found for it. Everyone who dies in one of these cars eventually gets on this spreadsheet.

I’m curious, what’s the ratio of autopilot deaths to miles driven? Because as much as we rightfully talk shit about self driving cars, especially teslas, humans are notoriously fucking awful at driving cars, and even if the autopilot fucks up and kills people sometimes, it’s good as long as it kills less people per amount of driving.

But also train good car bad. :train-shining:

Not really, because at least the mistakes are at the hands of the people. Moving it over to machines will open the door for actuarial calculations and insurance companies controlling the ethical decisions an automated driver makes.

Has Elon cried and talked smack about that website yet, or does he ignore it? Someone has got to have tweeted it at him.

Christ, it’s very bleak seeing all those people tracked in a spreadsheet. Looks like a good resource though, thank you for sharing

It is bleak, they even comply with Tesla’s extremely strict definition of “Autopilot-at-Fault” which is no hands on the wheels or gears, no feet on pedals, no contact with controls at all. Despite their 100% bullshit definition of Autopilot-at-Fault its still that many

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
