First Tesla Autopilot Death

[NickFitz]

Nope, but this was as reported by BBC this morning.

No, it wasn't. You didn't listen properly either, did you?

Admittedly it was the 6:30 R2 news but WGAF anyway?

[BrilloPad]

Maybe the car did not like him watching Harry Potter?

The many CUK Pedants, in fact 90% of the forum, get your facts right man

I was wondering whether the guy they caught in the Beemer going down the motorway has put his name down for a Tesla

Yes, and he'll have his left hand on the wheel so it feels like someone else is driving.

The only relevant 'fact' in the Grauniad was that offered up by Tesla

Tesla’s first known autopilot death in some 130 million miles driven by its customers. “Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles,” the company then notes.

BTW why is this news now, the car crashed in May?

I wondered about that 'fact' too. Not sure it's statistically significant. Only takes another fataility tomorrow and they're suddenly more dangerous than a driven car.

Only just found his head?

No wonder FLC was so keen

My primary concern is the fact that you think we deal with news or facts in General
