Dawn Project is apparently setting up another ad for the Super Bowl. This has to do with the obviously unsafe “Autopilot”, and the myriad of tests that prove that emergency braking is piss-poor on Tesla systems.

    This Dawn Project guy is fuckin hilarious with his “I MaKe sOfTwArE wItHoUT BuGs” schtick. Go look what other companies he’s invested in… Hmmmm…

    While that’s true, there’s a bunch of Tesla crashes into Firetrucks that I appreciate someone (even a flawed somebody) getting this message out. People need to see that Tesla Autopilot has been crashing into things and killing people for the last 7 or 8 years. Its honestly not a safe system.

        But people weren’t paying $15,000 for “Full Self Driving” that regularly crash into children.

        This was a live demo at CES 2023 (Consumers Electronics Show). People were literally lining up to be inside of these cars during the balloon-crash tests to see how good different cars were at automatic brakes. Tesla is absurdly bad at this.
