If the NTSB finds that there is an urgent safety issue that needs to be addressed, they will issue the appropriate recommendation immediately. They did that in the case of a helicopter crash investigation last month.
It is very concerning to me that Tesla seems intent on badmouthing the NTSB, and accusing them of seeking press headlines. How often if at all, do you see anything relating to the NTSB make headline news on the major news networks or newspapers? Again, this is an agency that has served the public interest for more than 50 years, to suggest that the NTSB's top priority is anything but ensuring the safety of the travelling public is ludicrous.
Then that feature needs to be removed. It's unreliable at best and fatal at worst.
lmao this post butted up with thr update is kind of funny.
And it's responses like this that make me firmly convinced that some people don't actually fucking read the entire posts they are replying too and instead immediately need to jump to a conclusion based on their emotions. Thank you so much for your input.
This is honestly on owners acting irresponsibly. As an owner I don't know how people can feel even slightly comfortable treating this more than a driver assist. It's really amazing and wonderful but it is simple an assist feature.
As an owner I don't have EAP, but thye did give us a month trial and a few other trials. I want to know how people circumvent the nag. Even with two hands on the wheel it said I wasn't applying enough pressure and was therefore beeping and flashing at me that I didn't have my hands on the wheel.
You didn't.
You can put your knee on the wheel and the nag messages go away.
Tesla bears much of the blame for that. It very likely has changed now with all their updates, but if you go back to 2018, their website boasts of all the planned capabilities of both EAP and FSD without making it clear which features are actually currently available and which are not. On the other hand, yes there are a lot of notices in the car UI that tell you the driver is responsible and must be alert at all times.
I mean, you can, but you're an idiot if you're doing that rather than having your foot ready to engage the pedals at anytime.
But then Musk loses cool points as being the guy to first release self-driving cars to the masses.
that sounds like it should be illegal in every country...
Autopilot is now the basic entry level option. The more advanced option is called 'Full Self-Driving' and includes features like navigate on auto-pilot where the car will change lanes to overtake slow moving traffic and take the exit from one highway to another.
The whole thing. I was replying to someone else's post, who then agreed with me. I noticed you didn't respond to them. Which tells me you didn't really care about the context or even the content of the post and then reply, you just saw my post and felt the need to go after it.
but its called autopilot... With emerging technology there's going to be a lot of issues that we haven't run into yet. We don't have a lot of automated technology, but its up to the manufacturer to generally make their products safe to use and marketed in a way that a reasonable person can understand its purpose.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but that doesn't absolve manufacturers of making safe products. There's going to be a lot of debate over what a safe product is as we see more automated vehicles. beta testing a videogame is one thing, but when it comes to a car that could plow through a school playground or bus full of nuns I do believe there should be more scrutiny.
this.
