Everyone has surely known this for years, given MobileEye and NVidia both dumped partnerships with Tesla due to concerns about fraud. NVidia even ranked Tesla last in driverless tech after the split.

Welp, here it is again in black and white from the IIHS.

…in a series of tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an independent safety inspector. […] The tests found that “Full Self Driving” — a feature that, as of last month, was available in beta to about 400,000 Tesla drivers — was the most unsafe…

It’s like a tragic version of Dr. Seuss. A rail worker peacefully enjoying nature during his lunch break was violently attacked and killed by a “death trap” robot on wheels made by the fascist brand Tesla.

A man working on WA’s Metronet rail project has died at a park in Perth’s northeast.

The 59-year-old subcontractor was on his lunch break, sitting under a tree near the new Bayswater station, when he was hit by a Tesla sedan.

Twitter not only is a toxic platform, the largest hate rally in history, it’s also engaged in egregious stock manipulation by robots to fund the haters.

Of 157,000 tweets posted to the hashtag #TSLA, 23% were from bots, the research showed.

Kirsch and Chowdhury tracked 186 Tesla-related bot accounts and found that after each was launched, the company’s stock appreciated more than 2%. (They looked at the average stock return for the week previous to the bot’s creation and for the week following.)”

“This computational content may have buffered the Tesla narrative from an emergent group of critics, relieved downward pressure on the Tesla stock price and amplified pro-Tesla sentiment from the time of the firm’s IPO in June 2010 to the end of 2020,” reads a paper that the researchers plan to present at the International Electric Vehicle Symposium in June in Oslo.”

A two hour log overwrite standard in 2024 is shameful for modern planes.

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair Jennifer Homendy said on Sunday no data was available on the cockpit voice recorder because it was not retrieved within two hours – when recording restarts, erasing previous data.

The U.S. requires cockpit voice recorders to log two hours of data versus 25 hours in Europe for planes made after 2021.

Pilots in the U.S. might be better off with a pad of paper and pencil.

This will come up more and more as Boeing is exposed for allegedly having a culture of destroying evidence.

Notably the requirement for Boeing is that it maintain at least two hours, which means it could design for the more logical 25 hours instead. A bare minimum doesn’t seem appropriate when we’re talking about a world of long-haul flights reaching upwards of 18 hours. Obviously a day of data is the right move for product engineers who care about passenger survival, as proven in just the latest two Boeing safety incidents.

New Zealand’s Transport Accident Investigation Commission said on Tuesday it was seizing the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder of a LATAM Airlines 787 after an incident that left more than 50 people injured.
