Now imagine it was a self-driving semi like they want to put truckers out of work, the drivers with the most sterling safety record on the road.

A fatal crash of the self-driving electric BMW iX in the German city of Reutlingen left nine people seriously injured and one dead, the police confirmed on Tuesday, raising concerns about the possible wider use of the technology in the near future.

BMW's test drive with five passengers onboard resulted in a series of collisions that affected four vehicles yesterday afternoon and caused the death of a 33-year-old inside a Mercedes-Benz van that the BMW hit head-on. Injured people were escorted by helicopters to hospitals across the region, including an 18-month-old baby."

whew... maybe now "they" won't be trying to coerce us all into buying self-driving cars... you know, once they have forced us to buy electric for a year or 2

Oh wait... they want us all to die anyway

so they can have the world all to themselves anyway...

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

These Tesla's and other A.I. vehicles are extremely deadly. They're selling them without the appropriate testing needed before putting them on the market.

The government should have already shut them down until more appropriate testing has been done..........................but considering the Nazi's in charge right now, they want us all dead any way they can get it.

 

[justaschmuck9]

they are trying to depopulate us through

gender confusion
abortion
abortion pill
sterilization
assisted suicide
and God knows what else

Just conservative hero Elon Musk. Since he's rich, all conservatives are required to agree with him.

You kooks do realize that it's Elon and Elon alone with the self-driving car obsession at Tesla, right?

So why do conservatives want people to die in self-driving cars?

I mean, other than because they're vicious and genocidal in general. What's specifically driving conservatives to kill people in this specific fashion?

All new technology has bugs and a period of time to work them out.

If you people were in charge we would still be using horse and buggies.

Self driving cars are a natural progress in the industry. If they can get the bugs worked out I would get one in a second.

There are 35 car crashes an hour in the US day in and day out. It will not be hard to do better than that

yea just a glitch.

Yea it’s not like humans ever cause car crashes or anything.

Self-driving cars will happen. It’s already happening. It will be the future. It’s just a matter of time.

There's too many variables out on the road to input enough scenarios to have a vehicle like that assess and handle all of them. There will always be what the programmers forgot.

 

[petro]

Literally every auto maker has safety recalls and various electronic and programming recalls.
I would never trust a self driving vehicle in any situation, especially winter driving.
Most sensors clog with snow and ice rendering them useless. Even heavy rain will temporarily suspend sensor operations. No software can feel the road in black ice conditions either.
And no way in hell am I towing my camper with my hands off the wheel as Ford shows in their new truck ad.

Fucking stupid.
You don't want to drive your vehicle?
Take the damn bus.

Does every post of yours have to resort to cheap political shots?
Is your life that damn empty?
I could give a rats ass about Elon's political views.
I simply have zero interest in Tesla's and self driving road hazard garbage with programming errors.

Autopilot landing a plane is simple compared to all the variables you have on the road. The autopilot finds the beacon, points the plane at the correct trajectory toward the runway, and glides it in. Note with high cross winds and down drafts it still takes a skilled human pilot to wrestle that baby in. You can feel the pilot fighting the plane with superb skill. I love those landings.

Driving even much harder. I slammed on the brakes the other day because I just had a hunch this kid was going to dart into the road. Exactly what he did. Driving you almost need a sixth sense, something machines will never have.

Self-driving BMW crash leaves 1 dead, 9 injured​

Last I heard, Teslas didn't recognize little kids just running them over.

Color me heartless but I have no sympathies for people using self-driving cars. Driving is the best part of auto-ing around and people who allow cars to drive them without even paying attention unprepared to take over deserve to get their asses sued off by every person who manages to survive being collided into by them, worse, because self-driving accidents happen in places where most people wouldn't expect them to occur.

I could maybe almost see using self-driving autopilot on the highway on a long distance trip where there is far less to contend with than around the city.

These cars could never drive in Mexico City or Rio where cars are shaving each other passing by a coat of paint, and even good drivers fear to tread.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Thats not self driving. Thats self crashing.

Sounds like downtown Atlanta, too.

 

[pknopp]

Cars crash. Is this news?

 

[Burgermeister]

Self-driving cars should not be allowed on public roads. It's ridiculous and why doesn't the driving public get a vote on whether they are allowed on our roads?

We are a long way from safe self-driving cars and until then they need to have their own roads.

Where was Hunter's laptop when this happened?
I am sure it is behind all of this....
