@@lucaskp16 "making it look better than it is" Tesla can't be at fault in any way here. It is a driver aid, just like cruise control is a driver aid. Tesla has always stated it is a driver's aid and that the driver must be alert at all times, since it is their responsibility to control the vehicle. I'm a Pilot and use Autopilot, I know that I must stay alert at all times, because the system is just an aid. Not sure how anyone can misunderstand that. More importantly there are millions of Tesla's on the road, if this was really a huge issue with the name wouldn't there be more crashes. Intoxicated people routinely crash into Emergency vehicles this is a common thing, one of the reasons officers approach vehicles on passenger side, because they used to get side swiped, by inattentive and intoxicated drivers.

The wall or end of the traffic jam is more dangerous then some vehicle changing lanes a full safety distance away. 3. Do not disengage the assistant before impact. Keep it running so it keeps slowing down, until a human override happens. 4. Somewhere before 150 attention warnings the system should say: "Okay, either my sensors are faulty or you are faulty.

I would make the argument that this analogy isn’t fully comparable, Elon Musk has repeatedly and continuously vastly overstated the relative ability of self driving and when full self driving will be available for essentially 6 years at this point. It would be like if Tim Cook said, “Actually, iPhones will be impervious to damage with iOS 17 later this year and actually be safer than using a phone case.” But then, in the fine print say it's actually just as susceptible to damage. Except in this case, no matter how many issues it has, Siri won't make a sudden dangerous move to kill you out of nowhere. Elon flaunts the relative safety of full self driving, but in reality it’s the full self driving plus a human babysitting it, and constantly preventing it from making terrible decisions. Even so there are still many many cases of auto pilot, making an abrupt decision that an attentive human driver is incapable of correcting for in time.

Autopilot and FSD Beta are completely separate software suites. Autopilot has absolutely no intention of ever being more than a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System. FSD Beta has the explicit goal of becoming a Level 5 ADAS, hence the currently $15,000 price tag. Why can’t anyone understand this difference. As far as NTSHA saying that the term Autopilot is misleading, maybe they should talk to some of their compatriots over at the FAA, who is also under the Department of Transportation umbrella. Nobody thinks that “Autopilot” replaces the need for at least two licensed pilots to fly commercial airliners, who are constantly monitoring the system’s performance. Just like Autopilot reduces the workload for commercial pilots and reduces fatigue, Tesla Autopilot has the stated intent to reduce a car driver’s workload and thereby reduce fatigue. In neither case does Autopilot eliminate the NEED for an alert and attentive operator at the controls.

But it’s foggy and confusing for the cameras. Still the humans fault though; the driver should have noticed the bright flashing lights and took control, slowed down and moved further across the lanes. Autopilot is trusted to much which is partly the name and owners not reading the manual which does state that it is basically lane and cruise control, like so many other cars have.

This is what I was thinking watching this video. Emergency vehicle lights are becoming dangerously bright, especially at night. When they are flashing at night, other drivers simply cannot see the outline of vehicles, any personnel around the scene, and they are often so bright they cause a dazzle reflex and Flash Blindness. I understand the need for them to be bright to catch the attention of other drivers during the day, but they need to be dimmer at night.

Funny how Tesla is called out so much. I own a Ford with Blue Cruise. That system is not as good at staying in lane and recognizing even more standard dangers, yet requires no hands on the wheel unlike AutoPilot. My Tesla drives WAY better and also requires I pull on the wheel a few times a minute to ensure I’m paying attention. I closely supervise both systems at all times to avoid dying, but if they are considering pulling Tesla’s system there are many not as good aids out there that don’t require as much input as Tesla.

Oh wow!! I just watched this and realized a couple of things... First, the title says "Footage SUGGESTS reasons" but doesn't say that WAS the reason... In fact, they even say the driver was alerted PRIOR to the accident and that the "although the system WORKED AS DESIGNED" it was "Not enough to sideline THE IMPAIRED DRIVER"... So, the driver was IMPAIRED, yet they didn't really make that a POINT other than to 'casually' mention that the system wasn't ENOUGH to sideline the driver... Which, means, the DRIVER hit the cars, not the autopilot system... Too many times you will see a car (any type) that hit that ONE lonely tree or telephone pole on the side of the road 'head on'. And you have to wonder "Didn't they have enough time to swerve out of the way?" - well, yeah, they probably did, but SOME people can get 'fixated' on the object(s) and head straight for them instead! This happens A LOT with emergency vehicles as well... The driver fixates on the LIGHTS and automatically heads right for them rather than around them... Too many times drivers (who survived) have said "The last thing I saw was the telephone pole" or "Last thing I remember was seeing a big tree in front of me"... This of course ends up in an accident that eventually is called 'distracted driving' or such... But in reality it's actually FOCUSED driving - but focusing on the OBJECT instead of the road and their actual driving... It's also why so many people will 'cross the lines' into another lane when they look at something on the side of the road... If it's on the right side, they drift right... On the left side and they drift left... While, had they just let go of the wheel (or REALLY paid attention to the wheel like they should), they would have gone straight and not drifted to one side or the other... It's a NATURAL phenomenon... Some people even 'lean' to one side as well... So, *I* suspect that the driver may not have even NOTICED the 'warning' on his screen and, instead just headed his car right into the 'shiny lights' OR that he saw the warning, grabbed the wheel 'slightly' like he was used to doing when getting the 'nag' warnings and then it 'turned off' the autopilot and let him ram into the pretty lights...

If a person, being as drunk as this driver appears to have been, is able to get on the highway and "drive" for 45 minutes then the Tesla Autopilot helped him achieve that feat and thus it helped/enabled him to commit a crime and it's not unreasonable to hold it responsible for that. If a system is capable of "assisting" people doing stupid things like climbing into the back seat as has been seen on numerous youtube videos then perhaps there should be some safeguards introduced that stops that sort of misuse.

Lane Changes are possible only with Activated Enhanced Autopilot or FSD. Basic Autopilot is designed to maintain speed and avoid cars in front, while Auto Steer keeps the vehicle centered in the lane. Also, if the driver's foot is on the accelerator, Autopilot will not disengage. The car owner can request diagnostic data from Tesla, which can reveal the pedal states and the car's decisions. I'm not dismissing the incident; I'm just seeking clarification

This type of rollover accident is typically the fault of radar-based systems. Only if it doesn't happen with Tesla, they don't make a case out of it, and other companies typically don't even record the case, they don't have data like Tesla. But anyone who deals with this sort of thing knows that the kryptonite of any such emergency brake assistant is the non-moving obstacle. Think about it. It's quite a problem, it would be if you always braked on poles or trees on the side of the road. This has been fixed pretty well with the visual system. My Tesla still has radar. But it became much more accurate and better when it was switched to the visual system. In heavy fog or rain, he can see clearly better than I do. Besides, if he can't see, he slows down.

Model X 2019 did not have a cabin camera to tell if the driver is paying attention. The camera was added later. The newer version of full self driving detects lights easily and slows down drastically for emergency vehicles which is something that AP and FSD lacked until recently. It was something that we have been complaining about for the longest time. Everyone that drives on FSD or Autopilot knows and signs off on the fact that they are in control and there are situations where you have to take control. The driver should have been paying attention and should have taken over in this case. I hope that this brings attention to the issues and flaws that are being brought up in the systems and hopefully fixes the issue. I wonder how the new hardware 4 setup would respond to this situation especially when they enable the radar module. I am not a fan of the fact that tesla is depending on vision only.

How in the heck could Tesla not have tested their systems for the detection of stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights, and have done so in all types of weather conditions and times of day? When airliners began to incorporate autopilots of increasing capabilities such that the human pilot was left with almost nothing to do except to monitor the autopilot, the human pilot's attention would frequently wander and the result was more plane crashes instead of fewer. The result was a scaling back of autopilot capabilities so that the human pilot would still have to enough to do to keep his/her attention from wandering.

@@kenbob1071 - Pilot inattention caused more crashes than automating airplane flight to the point that pilots had nothing to do but "monitor"--the FAA found the only solution was to revert to having the pilots actually go back to being more hands on in flying the plane to keep pilots attentive.

It's not really like that. A driver could easily have both hands on the wheel and fully attentive and this warning will pop up.

A driver chose to drive drunk and your story is that the car failed? As your own narration states, he was swerving until he engaged autopilot. For most of the drive, autopilot protected others from a drunk driver who shouldn't have been driving. Instead of recalling it, we should be investing it making it better. We need systems to protect us from distracted, impaired or just poor drivers. We need systems to enable senior citizens to continue to be mobile when they lose the aptitudes needed to drive safely. Autopilot is not dangerous. Drivers are dangerous. Autopilot is helping to make drivers safer.

The more you drive, you drive better. This is also applicable to a single instance of driving. Responsiveness increase as you continue to drive, till you get tired. Any driver is bound to loose his alertness and responsiveness over time, if autopilot keeps doing all the task of driving correctly. Now he will not have the required responsiveness required at high speed to avoid a danger situation. At lower speed he will be fine. But higher speeds require heightened response which require a heightened state of his body and mind.

It seems to be completely unreasonable to assume that it's possible for a person to be even close to as attentive and reactive when using autopilot (or a similar thing) as when they are driving. Using these systems basically trains the driver that the car will react and that the driver doesnt need to. So you create a system that trains people to not react quickly, so obvisosuly, they do not react in time. I'm very excited about these technologies being implenented, but it seems insane to make the users liable for these accidents.

It is possible for someone to be both. Just like flying an aircraft which has autopilot and all sorts of bells and whistles the pilot is trained to take over and keep control over the plane as their responsibility. Just like Tesla. If you are driving on autopilot and see something in the road and the system is not detecting it. You need to take action or over all take action before. You as the driver hold a responsibility of driving safely just like a pilot holds the responsibility of flying safely regardless if autopilot is on or not.

That’s like me saying my car is on cruise control and it should therefore avoid that slow car ahead of me (my car doesn’t have the latest cruise control that brakes when it detects a slower car in front of me).

My issue with these continued stories is that it disincentives innovation in this space by shifting the responsibility from the irresponsible driver to the car manufacturer. Everyone who engages Autopilot is made aware of the risks and cautioned to pay attention because it's an ADAS system. I'm sure there are situations where Autopilot error resulted in an accident but, instead of investigating those the media attacks Tesla when drivers choose to knowingly break the law by driving drunk or circumventing the safety systems put in place.
