The KRON article says that the accident victim, Walter Huang, had previously
experienced the Tesla's autopilot steering toward the same
Sumwalt said that Huang was likely playing a video game on his phone when his
car veered into the median barrier. "So first let me say, if you own a car with
partial automation, you do not own a self-driving car. Don't pretend that you
do," Sumwalt said.
Hi Folks,
A fellow engineer in California sent me this, apparently the self driving
feature saw the lane spacing as standard but ran into the concrete lane divider
and killed him.
I really like my Tesla-Y for towing the boat, seamless long distance
travel/fast charging but I’ll hold off
The updates are a small net positive. They could be a large net positive.
They are also mostly voluntary. TMC does have some threads where owners
have reported forced, remotely pushed, updates from old firmware that
owners wanted to remain on (especially because of the battery cap issue or

I'll add that in AutoPilot, I have experienced braking at an intersection
on a curve where a stopped car is in the left turn lane, I'm in the right
through lane, and depending upon where my steering wheel is pointed (only a
couple of degree variations), my brakes are applied or not. This is one
Not to mention Ford wanted $300
To update the software on my edge and I had to take it in and leave it for them
to download the update

That is overstating things. Good has come from updates, but there are
warts too. There is no undo/roll back option available to customers in
case of botched updates, or

Could be. The truth is that none of us know exactly what the problems
and trade offs are and that many features of Teslas are works in

Hi Jay,
The Bolt has yellow lights that light up on the outward tips of the side
view mirrors if it detects a vehicle in that particular blind side of the
car. Over the time, I have had the car, they seem to have improved and I
am assuming this is through the few software updates that it has

I find that comment interesting. The 2020 Nissan Altima I drove when

Hi EV folks
After talking with my friend who crashed his Tesla3 about what was noted today
on the EVDL that sometimes on sharp country road turns - the AutoPilot drops
out (thus hitting a tree). This appears to be what happened.
