@ai6yr Precision terror by Tesla. “You were past the safety arm, but the train would’ve barely nicked you. Stop screaming”… and technically, the woman in Houston whose vehicle tried to fling her over the overpass but was stopped by the stanchion, gives them the out of “Your vehicle stopped safely enough and prevented you from going over the barrier, so all good, yes?”

@ai6yr “self driving relies on safe stops: Brakes, parking brakes, walls, stanchions, other vehicles Definition of safe stops: You lived, you didn’t die instantly. All systems performed as expected. The rest subject to arbitration.” Always read the fine print in EULAs.
