What a headline - "protecting everyone from Teslas".<p>Does anyone look at statistics or actual data when ripping out headlines like this? I'm actually curious.<p>For example, emergency responder struck by vehicle fatalities SHOULD be a top concern for everyone!<p>We have good data on these fatalities.<p><a href="https://www.respondersafety.com/Download.aspx?DownloadId=04e633ac-9666-48d6-9aee-0ba196f4850a" rel="nofollow">https://www.respondersafety.com/Download.aspx?DownloadId=04e...</a><p>Instead of the outrage machine factory, anyone feel up to actually going through this data and figuring out how many of these fatalities were caused by Tesla's?<p>Might help get some real data into the conversation.<p>Could also do 2019's as well 21's, probably get coverage across maybe 130 fatalities?<p>I'm serious - for folks just tired of the endless outrage / clickbait type stuff - how about a tiny shred of data in the mix.<p>Or anyone work at an insurance company? Ie, doing bodily injury claims for hit by vehicle? Run the data of Tesla vs other drivers? It just seems we should be able to get some kind of actual data.<p>Who knows, maybe Teslas are the big risk. Or maybe headline will be protecting folks from tired truck drivers by getting them to use Tesla partial automation.
> They could have asked whether the numerous videos of people playing cards or moving to the back seat while Autopilot is engaged—which Tesla warns against, but does not block—constitute “predictable abuse” of Autopilot’s design.<p>Saying Tesla "does not block" those things it is misleading. There are safety features to ensure the driver doesn't do those things, which those people were intentionally defeating.
