    If the person driver is trying to escape culpability, too bad. They made the decision to use Tesla autopilot which is well known to go crazy and crash into things, so the fault remains with them.

      That’s a bad take.

      Tesla built the system, and advertised it to provide a specific service. That service is faulty. Tesla is at fault.

      You can’t expect every consumer to just understand that the company selling the product is outright lying. That’s putting the responsibility in the wrong hands, and absolving corporations of lying to the public.

        It was autopilot, not FSD. It’s adaptive cruise control. Originally also lane keeping but Tesla was forced to remove that

          The article says the car swerved into the garage, which means the car took control of the steering wheel and turned it off the road into the house.

          Tesla says the cars should be able to drive straight on the road without driver input. This car took control and drove it into a wall.

          That is Tesla’s fault, not the driver. Heck, based on the information here, even if the driver was 100% paying attention, they might not have had the reaction time to stop the car.

          Was literally in a self drive Tesla a couple of days ago. 2023 model. Self drove 170 miles door to door except final parking. So I’m not sure what you mean when you say they removed it.

          The other gimmicky Tesla stuff aside, the self drive was freaking awesome.
