 A Tesla Model S crashed into a fire truck at a reported speed of 65 mph while the vehicle was on Autopilot driver-assist system. No one was injured in the crash, which caused some damage to the rear left section of the fire truck and heavy frontal damage to the Model S ,but didn’t reach the cabin. Tesla spokesperson said Autopilot is intended for use only with a fully attentive driver,when asked to confirm the driver’s assertion that he was using Autopilot when his vehicle smashed into the back of a fire engine at 65 mph.  The Model S is known to be amongst the safest cars when it comes to front-end collision due to its large crumple zone. The lack of engine at the front serves to absorb the energy in the instance of a crash instead of pushing on the cabin,injuring the driver and passengers. This is not the first time a Tesla on autopilot has been involved in an accident.In 2016, a Model S drove under the trailer of a semitruck at a high speed,ripping the roof off the car and killing the driver. The question is : How is it possible that one of the most advanced driving systems on the planet doesn't see a parked fire truck ahead?

I just laugh when people say Ai will take the place of humans in the future. Anything created by an imperfect mortal will fail. Men are meant to worship the Creator, Marvel at his Creations and Give him thanks all the days of their lives. 69 Likes 3 Shares |

Until it's verified that the car was on AutoPilot then I'll assume that it wasn't. Dude thought it was. 6 Likes |

A machine will always be one. The driver behind the wheel is supposed to be in control whether auto pilot is engaged or not. This is no airplane. |

The driver is a liar. 65mph is not such a high speed for the car not to be able to avoid. Anything else would be a system malfunction. 1 Like |

shortgun: Oh yee of little faith, history is littered with the bones of your kind. You said the alpps could not be crossed. Well Hannibal did. You said the Atlantic could not be crossed well someone did. Man will never fly you say. Well we went to the moon. Ai is the easier thing to create, the government of the world and private individuals are delaying it for a reason, scientists are not given grants for good research. Compare the salary of the top scientist in the world and the salary of ronaldo, See misplaced priorities. The most useless things cost more. I hope you are alive to see the day ai replaces you at your work place, like apps have replaced many people at theirs and computers have replaced many more. Ai will get there ,just you wait. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

shortgun: Chaii, do you think? What is your definition of solve problems. Do you know how many problems they have solved already. For example. Our forefathers used to have 3-7wives and as many children as possible, even at that few survived, my girl's family out of 12 children 3 survived. Also the large family was for farming e.t.c Now with science you can have just one child and nuture it. under science our population has trived. But will man use the safe guards that science provided. No. That's where the problems lies not with science but man so yes. Science cannot solve man's problems because the only problem man has is man. 2 Likes |
