I love EVs. But stop defending Tesla. Even if it was true that the driver pressed the accelerator to 100%, it’s irrelevant. If the FSD put the car in a collision trajectory and the driver got scared and accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in the last second, it’s still the fault of FSD. The accelerator made it worse, but the car would still have crashed.

Yeah, FSD put the car into danger, through some kind of lag or stupidity.
But at the moment of impact, the driver had stomped on any pedal and taken control. It’s like someone tossed you a greased cobra in a room full of cub scouts. You’re all fucked no matter what you do, but you’re the one with the snake.
I want the NTSB to take the data and see how FSD plotted that particular path, and I want Tesla to take their share of blame - probably 100% - but the sad thing is, the driver - technically - was in control at time of impact, and the legal system (and P.R) will hyperfocus on that particular immaterial detail - doubly bad it was the wrong pedal - and the case won’t go anywhere.
Tesla’s to blame for ditching lidar, over-promising FSD, all kinds of things. Society is to blame for focusing on the gas pedal and will blame the driver for merely being where the cobra landed. The NTSB (or whatever that org is named) is to blame for not being absolute dickweeds with every collision before this one and ensuring a fix for every bug.
The driver is to ‘blame’ for doing a very human panic response and taking control in a very understandable fashion past the point where it could have helped, but in doing so takes all responsibility. And that’s the saddest part.
They read the logs themselves. The NTSB routinely does investigations and Teslas are a popular brand of car, why wouldn’t they have the ability to read their logs?
Capability, sure. Do you think they actually did, though? That’s a positive assertion that I would want to see some kind of actual evidence for beyond an assertion by some random commenter on the Internet.
I suspect you don’t have any evidence because if there was I think that would probably be by far the bigger story here. Which is why I expect Tesla would refrain from taking the risk of tampering with logs in situations like this.
I’m not making a positive assertion, just expressing a heaping amount of skepticism. I don’t have any evidence beyond the fact that the evidence NHTSA is using comes from a prolific liar and conman and taking the most logical and rational position accordingly. I wouldn’t accept the logs as proof.
No, they asked the prolific liar to provide the logs.
Really. Do you have any sources that indicate that?

What “defending?” I’m explaining where they got the information from. It’s literally in their preliminary report. I said nothing beyond that fact.
I think we’re beyond defending that one company.

What other possible scenario exists?
They read the logs themselves. The NTSB routinely does investigations and Teslas are a popular brand of car, why wouldn’t they have the ability to read their logs?
Do you think the company that created the logging system doesn’t have the capability to remotely manipulate the logs?
Capability, sure. Do you think they actually did, though? That’s a positive assertion that I would want to see some kind of actual evidence for beyond an assertion by some random commenter on the Internet.

LOL go on. This should be good.
I deleted my comment a minute after posting, so no I didn’t mean you.
