Flutterby™! : moral crumple zone, physical wall

moral crumple zone, physical wall

Y'all have seen the Mark Robler "Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?" video, (the money shot starts at about 15:29), in which he lets a Tesla drive him through a trompe l'oeil wall. Turns out that the outrage may have uncovered an extra moral crumple zone: Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

In a separate post seemingly responding to the allegations, Rober shared the "raw footage of my Tesla going through the wall."

"Not sure why it disengages 17 frames before hitting the wall but my feet weren’t touching the brake or gas," he added.

For all of those "the car wasn't in self-driving mode when the collision occurred" ass-covering pronouncements.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
