The truth emerged through #forensicanalysis, revealing Tesla’s deception and influencing the jury’s decision to find Tesla partially liable. electrek.co/2025/08/04/tesla-w #tech #media #news

If #tesla #autopilot was not labled as safer than humans it would probably be out of the woods. But both basic AP and FSD is not safer than humans, as humans can adapt to a much wider range of situations. This is the game of lies, damned lies and Tesla autopilot #statistics

In basic AP there are numerous bugs, reported over and over by drivers that are still not fixed. It phantom bakes, swerves dangerously, wipers and head lights is not working appropriately.

Electrek · Tesla (TSLA) is found liable in fatal Autopilot crash, has to pay $329 millionBy Fred Lambert

🚨A jury found Tesla partially liable for a fatal 2019 crash in Key Largo, FL, and slapped the co with $200M in punitive damages, a stunning rebuke for CEO Musk’s co, which for years has avoided responsibility when its #technology is involved in a crash.

The outcome is a stunning rebuke for Tesla, which for years has fought to absolve itself of responsibility when its tech is involved in a crash.

#Musk will #appeal, but this verdict sends a msg.

Continued thread

2️⃣ #Tesla prahlt wohl von allen Autoherstellern am meisten über die Daten, die sie über ihre Autos und deren Umgebung sammeln.

Doch wenn es darum geht, unerklärliches Verhalten bei Unfällen aufzuklären, gibt sich Tesla zugeknöpft. Auch gibt es Anzeichen, dass Teslas #Autopilot die Statistiken schönt, wenn man dem Artikel der #TeslaFiles-Autoren im #Guardian glaubt.

Sollen Untersuchungsbehörden den «Autopiloten» einfach nicht unter die Lupe nehmen? 🤷
