Tesla has to get more punishment than NOTHING. This sucks
Yeah, judging by the article, Tesla should take some responsibility here. Not that the driver should get off, if your car is blowing a red light at 120km/h you're just not paying proper attention.
Sure, I'd prefer to know more exactly the time between. Was it 2 seconds or 25? But my premise is this shouldn't happen in the software. I know I read some time ago that Teslas had shut off the software moments before collision, no time to save it, but I'd have to double check that. All to blame the customer
Automakers should not be allowed to use the unsuspecting public as toys for their experimental software, it quickly becomes a 1-4 ton death machine, but I think we agree on that.
Oh yeah, I work in software development myself. No way I'd trust my life to something like Tesla's autopilot, which is perpetually in beta, relies on just the camera feed and is basically run by a manager that has clear issues with over promising and under delivering (among other things). You can get away with shit like that for a website or mobile app, but these are people's lives.
