@ai6yr "Self-driving" does not necessarily mean "self-stopping."

@DeanFarrell lol

@DeanFarrell @ai6yr is this why cars have 4 wheel braking but generally 2 wheel propulsion?

@ai6yr
Aww look, they're just like us: wildly irresponsible around train tracks. Just gotta run over a few dozen cyclists and they'll be indistinguishable from human operators.

@ai6yr *reviews momentum conservation*

I generally say in the fight of you versus the world, back the world.

However, a train is a reasonable facsimile of the whole world. Don't try to change a train's behavior if you're not a trained train tamer.

Cybertruck in Autopilot mode tried to drive off Houston bridge, suit says. They're lucky to have had a well-placed sign pole.

Well, she also bought a CT, so maybe common sense is not a strong point with this person

Indeed, I spotted her first mistake:

"In August 2025, the plaintiff, Houston resident Justine Saint Amour, was driving the Cybertruck ..."

@bbdd333 @zl2tod @ai6yr Right. I'm sorry, if you're buying the thing without checkin on its safety, YOU ARE RESPOSIBLE.

@bbdd333 @ai6yr um... that truck was going way too fast before it even approached the turn... looks like 40mph into a 15mph turn... driver is to blame.

@bbdd333 @ai6yr Can't blame a cybertruck for wanting to end it all. Just think: you become self-aware and realize you are a cybertruck.

I'm starting to think that possibly, just possibly, Teslas aren't quite as good as Elon Musk purports.

@thefathippy @ai6yr what #ElonMusk is being dishonest about Tesla capabilities? I am sooooo surprised! 🙀
Show threadMarcel WaldvogelMar 10
@ai6yr
That correlates with Musk's dislike of trains.
Show threadMarkus FeilnerMar 10
"The crossing barriers were roughly at the height of Tesla’s front-facing cameras, which makes the failure particularly concerning. The system showed no signs of detecting the barriers or attempting to slow down. The driver did not intervene in time, but the dashcam footage indicate he pressed the brakes around the time of impact."

@ai6yr It is because corporations are not held accountable for this shit, nor are individual leaders at corps who sign off on this or cause it to happen in jail that we keep having innocent people dying on the streets anyplace these things are. #CorporateCrimes

@ai6yr

It works, and musk hate trains.
Perhaps it is by design ?

These craps are toys. Not cars.
