Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" - Lemmy.World

OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right. How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

The poster, who pays Tesla CEO Elon Musk for a subscription to the increasingly far-right social media site, claimed that the FSD software “works awesome” and that a deer in the road is an “edge case.” One might argue that edge cases are actually very important parts of any claimed autonomy suite, given how drivers check out when they feel the car is doing the work, but this owner remains “insanely grateful” to Tesla regardless.

How are these people always such pathetic suckers.

I grew up in Maine. Deer in the road isn’t an edge case there. It’s more like a nightly occurrence.

Same in Kansas. Was in a car that hit one in the 80s and see them often enough that I had to avoid one that was crossing a busy interstste highway last week.

Deer are the opposite of an edge case in the majority of the US.

Putting these valid points aside we’re also all just taking for granted that the software would have properly identified a human under the same circumstances…
I’m not taking that for granted. If it can’t tell a solid object os in the road, I would guess that would be true for a human that is balled up or facing away as well.
