Well yeah, but it seems likely in this case the accelerator was being floored, dunno for how long. So much as I hate to give tesla a pass, they’re probably not really at fault here unless new info appears.

I hope you mean the driver, because I have no intent of defending anybody here.

Driver claims he was unconscious at the time, in case you’re unfamiliar with the details so far.

Honestly curious, what will your Kia do if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away? I have no idea how my BYD would react and I’m not eager to test it. It has emergency braking, but I don’t know how effective that actually is.

Or my sensor could be bloody malfunctioning.

Driver claims he was passed out, so his account isn’t necessarily conflicting with the pedal being pressed.

He said humans are not designed for factories, not the other way around. That’s not the same thing. Factories have been designed to take into account our physical shortcomings, but it’s obviously not perfect and industrial accidents are still a thing.

Although I would think it easier to just redesign the factory to operate without humans, than to design a humanoid robot to replace the humans.

That’s the point the other guy was making

If you replaced the cat with a person, wouldn’t that be an unhealthy fixation?

It’s a huge brand

Yes, we should have gone the apple route of suing fruit shops out of business. First time I’m hearing somebody on lemmy advocate that big companies are more equal than others, wtf?

Yeah but them not being able to protect their name in the EU is huge.
