    Coming here because I saw how downvoted this post was on Reddit lol. I love that it’s triggering the Elon fanboys.

      Maybe it was downvoted because of Mormon weirdo Mark Rober and not the content itself?

    I am not a fan of Tesla/Elon but are you sure that no human driver would fall for this?

      Lets assume that a human driver would fall for it, for sale of argument.

      Would that make it a good idea to potentially run over a kid just because a human would have to, when we have a decent option to do better than human senses?

      The road runner thing seems a bit far fetched yeah. But there were also tests with heavy rain and fog which were not passed by Tesla.

          You mean a traffic rule? I can’t comment about the US but in Portugal I don’t recall such a rule when learning to drive. Also in Finland I have not experienced that since traffic keeps going even in heavy blizzards.

        Getting into a legal battle with an immensely popular YouTuber would probably cost them a lot more in bad publicity than they would reasonably make from a lawsuit. I guarantee someone at Disney is doing or already has done the calculations.

      That’s the thing that got me. I would have issues spotting that child through the fog as well, but I wouldn’t have sped through it.

        True its not unsure but it should be. If it doesn’t have good viability it should have slowed down or disengaged auto pilot.

    I’ve been shit-talking Elon’s (absolutely boneheaded) decision to intentionally eschew system-redundancy in systems that are critically responsible for human life for years now. Since he never missed an opportunity to show off his swastikar in MANY of his previous videos, I had assumed Mark Rober was a sponsored member of the alt-right intellectual dark web. But I’m pleasantly surprised to see that this video is a solid (WELL-justified) smear. 👌

    What about the claims that he only used Autopilot, and not Tesla’s Full Self Driving?

    (Context: I hate Tesla, just curious for the sake of an honest argument)

      Philip DeFranco had him on Yesterday and he said the reason he didn’t use FSD was that it required you to input an address, but that there isn’t any difference in terms of the sensors being used.

      Given that the other car didn’t appear to have a version of FSD either, I’m unclear as to why Autopilot wasn’t the correct move for the most accurate comparison.

      Not any tangible difference in this scenario. Both use vision only. And both use the same computers.

        But do they use a different software? Maybe FSD is more advanced than autopilot and could have reacted better?

        Just playing devil’s advocate here.

      He was helping out Tesla by doing that. He was helping them get the wins they got instead of just Tesla massacring the kid every time. Note to self: As a pedestrian and you see a tesla, don’t cross the street.

        I like to help a Tesla out by throwing it batteries, Philly style.
