Michael -
How, exactly, would Mark be able to provide "factual data" on this
incident? If you think about it, how would _anyone_ be able to, since
the device that could record the incident data was off-line at the time
it happened and this was the root cause of the incident? Mark speculated
that it was quite possible that other similar "glitches" have caused
other similar unrecorded incidents.
I have known Mark for more than 20 years and have found him utterly
truthful and reliable. If he says it happened, I completely believe it
happened.
Also, I can envision how this could easily happen and how it would
completely escape the notice of Tesla. On commercial airplanes, they
have two (2) separate flight computers, using two different brand CPUs,
using two completely "firewalled" separate teams of code developers for
their flight computers. The two systems continuously monitor each other
for faults and warn the pilots when they see any divergence in flight
control between the computers. There are two _other_ separate systems
recording flight data as well. They do this because peoples lives depend
on these systems working perfectly and continuously. There is no similar
multiple redundancy in Tesla. _YOU_ are the redundancy that they are
depending on to take over if there is a computer glitch.

Mark, Can you show me where this anecdotal information might be gathered as
factual data? I have become very wary of information that is not
attributed to some source that I can trust. No offence intended.

Tesla should just drop the whole self driving thing and just focus on a
great electric car. My Tesla Y was the only EV I could find with towing
capacity for my H20 ski boat and an excellent nationwide charging network.
The problem with self driving is when the computer gets a glitch, it drops
out and the vehicle goes straight, usually into a tree on a curvy road
(happened to my friend last year and previous year to his wife in a
Tesla3). Of course when the computer drops out it doesn’t record the crash
as a self driving error. How convenient for Tesla. The actual crash rate
is much higher than recorded.
