When it was time to react, often it was too late.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is speculation, but were most of them from people who disabled the safety features?
No, I doubt most people care enough to disable them.
I heard it's fairly common for people to disarm the feature that requires you to hold the wheel.
Edit: it would be nice if someone explained why I'm being downvoted lol
Anything remotely supportive of Tesla on lemmy usually results in massive downvotes.
You've angered the hive mind by suggesting people are actively trying to bypass teslas saftey system so they can be idiots thus making it not wholly Teslas fault.
And yes, many people are actively using bypass devices, but not all.
Yeah that's kinda what I figured. Thanks
Probably not
You don't have to disable it to beat the safety system.
They were all pretty much due to inattentiveness, though. Many were drunk drivers.
Many do use defeat devices as well, but not all.
This was all brand new when it first came out and we didn't really have proper regulations for it. Things have gotten more restrictive, but people do still find ways around it and there's no fool proof solution to this as humans are smart and will find ways around things.
