"Musk has given the world many reasons to criticise him since he teamed up with Donald Trump. Many people do – mostly by boycotting his products. But while it is one thing to disagree with the political views of a business leader, it is another to be mortally afraid of his products. In the Tesla Files, we found thousands of examples of why such fear may be justified."

The Guardian · ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashingBy Guardian staff reporter

Tesla’s blijven crashen, met tientallen doden en honderden zwaargewonden tot gevolg.

Auto’s versnellen spontaan, herkennen obstakels niet. Botsen op stilstaande voertuigen, stoppen op snelwegen.

Oorzaak: falende software, gebrekkige AI, slechte monitoring.

En Musk? Die blokkeert data voor nabestaanden en politie, ontkent structurele fouten. Met 5 miljoen Tesla's op de weg is dat een tikkende tijdbom voor alle weggebruikers.

"because Musk wants to be first, he lets customers test his unfinished Autopilot system on public roads. It’s a principle borrowed from the software world, where releasing apps in beta has long been standard practice. The more users, the more feedback and, over time .. something stable emerges. Revenue and market share arrive much earlier. The motto: if you wait, you lose." tguardian

Here’s a running list of all of Tesla’s robotaxi mishaps so far

a list of all the mistakes the company’s “unsupervised” vehicles have made in the first couple days.

" On a quiet street in the Mueller neighborhood of Austin Thursday, Tesla’s full self driving mode was put to the test — would it stop for the stop signs on a school bus and avoid hitting children crossing the road?"

"Though the test was completed with child-sized manikins as opposed to real children, the Tesla failed the test all six times. It blew through school bus stop signs at full speed, running over the manikins and driving off — completing a hit-and-run."

"Self-driving Tesla plows into dummy it identified as pedestrian in safety test

Tesla’s self-driving software detected a child-size dummy and still failed to stop. The same type of vehicle injured a real student in 2023."

"Tesla plans to deploy a small fleet of robotaxis in Austin in the coming weeks. But these won’t be the long-promised 'CyberCab' vehicles.

Instead, Tesla will use standard Model Ys running its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, the same system at the center of mounting safety concerns.
