    Default Tesla Crash Texas

    Have you seen the news about the latest fatal, no-driver crash in Texas?
    Apparently there was nobody in the driver's seat of a Model S when it crashed into a tree. And two people were killed.
    Crashed into a tree!!

    Story here: CNN Texas Crash

    This driver-free car idea is getting scary.

    Teslas are not self driving or driver free cars. Nothing scary about a car that needs a driver crashing when there’s no driver.

    Remember when YouTube was new and squids would upload footage of them cracking 300 on a bike and then they'd promptly be tracked down by the police, arrested, and then mocked by the mainstream local media?

    Now, you can create a channel of nothing but videos of you making breaded shrimp in the backseat of your Tesla while it drives you on the highway and it's socially acceptable enough that you can make money from it.

    It seems like technology is no longer a progressive force in our society.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    From my original link "normally, when the fire department arrives they have the car fire under control in minutes, but this one went on for 4 hours." Even from your link, the guy was able to escape and survive and the fire was extinguished in minutes.

    Maybe both people died on impact in the crash, but there is a solid chance they burnt to death.

    Disclaimer: I do own a Tesla. I'm not a huge fan of AutoPilot and basically never use it.

    This crash basically just seems like people being idiots to me. Maybe we'll find out more in the future but hardly international news worthy IMO...

    Battery fires are nuts.

    The car I linked is fully engulfed.

    To your point, if you were inside unconscious, you might have burned to death. Battery powered or not. I wasn't trying to make a point of battery vs gas. The point is that any car get burn.

    59 year old Doctor and a 69 year old engineer, I doubt it. They are saying 1 was in the passenger seat and the other was in the back seat.

    I obviously didn't read the actual article, was just making a joke.

    It does go to show how even educated people can just be fucking retarded.

    Agreed but we all know this will/is going viral because its a death related to Tesla and most will just spew that. They will glance over the most important part where there was no fucking driver lol

    It is an interesting story, if true. What the heck were they doing before the crash 'if' no one was actually driving or in the drivers seat.

    Musk has come out to say that car did not have FSD.

    No shit. I can't convince an engineer/customer to stop treating me like an enemy but a car can drive an engineer around the block and convince him to let it drive him on a highway, endangering his life and the lives of everyone else around.
    Infuriating.

    If there's a niche, someone will fill it.
