How is that possible I thought they said that this car cannot have an accident

They can't use that kind of language or else they'll be sued. They'll most likely say the car is safer than human controlled cars.

No pain, no gain. Throughout history, people have been sacrificed for the improvement of technology. May we not be unfortunate

Cold and savage but true nonetheless. While AI aerial vehicles might be successful I have my doubts for the road plying ones. Too many obstacles to avoid on the ground and split seconds decisions decide whether it's a crash or not. The probability for crashes should be higher for AI road vehicles than for humans especially within heavily populated settlements with obstacles around.
The likely saving grace is if there's a low fixed speed limit for auto-driving.

May the LORD be with you my brother. Go in peace

Omg shut up

Folabifreeman:


Omg shut up

you seem to be under some sort of distress my brother, how can I help you out ? can i send some few dollars into your aza ?

Naybahood:
See better law suit


500 million dollars

They were passengers not passersby, a law suit is highly unlikely

Tesla clearly states driverless cars should be closely monitored

“There was no-one in the driver’s seat"

County Constable Precinct 4 said.



Provided there is a provision for manual driving, na them kill themselves...
No Igbo man will loose guard like that.

How about the ones they catch at airports almost every week, which ‘loose guard’ pass that one?

Two men have died after a Tesla vehicle, which was believed to be operating without anyone in the driver's seat, crashed into a tree on Saturday night north of Houston, authorities said.

Key points:
•After the fire was extinguished, authorities located two occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat and the other in the back seat of the Tesla

•The accident comes amid growing scrutiny over Tesla's semi-automated driving system following recent accidents

•The US auto safety agency said in March it had opened 27 investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles

“There was no-one in the driver’s seat," Sergeant Cinthya Umanzor of the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 said.

The 2019 Tesla Model S was travelling at high speed when it failed to negotiate a curve and went off the roadway, crashing to a tree and bursting into flames, local television station KHOU-TV said.

After the fire was extinguished, authorities located two occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat and the other in the back seat, the report said, citing Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman.

Tesla and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The accident comes amid growing scrutiny over Tesla's semi-automated driving system following recent accidents, and as it is preparing to launch its updated "full self-driving" software to more customers.


The US auto safety agency said in March it had opened 27 investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles. At least three of the crashes occurred recently.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in January that he expected huge profits from the company's full self-driving software, saying he was "highly confident the car will be able to drive itself with reliability in excess of human this year".

The self-driving technology must overcome safety and regulatory hurdles to achieve commercial success.

.....instincts tells me that there are people who dont subscribe to this idea of a semi automated driven vehicle and they are just trying to sabotage the developments of TESLA......if na me me MUSK, na to stick to electric vehicle before he becomes known as the maker of killer cars

driverless car means a zombie. so a zombie crashed into a man( i see men as trees mark 8 vs 24 ) and then crashed and burned killing the twin tower in the 28th state to be admitted into the union. Ladies and gents the tree that the zombie crashed into is the tree of life.

GOD IS SPEAKING HERE. CAN YOU HEAR THE MESSAGE ?

I've red this your comment about 7 times, each time with a loud laugh.

Wetin you chop this morning.

The vehicle is not a full autonomous car. A driver ought to be at the driver's seat to take control when it was deviating.

It is rather unfortunate but they are responsible for the death.

This will hamper Tesla progress anyway.

You are right, but eventually they will get it right. Look at everything under Alphabet inc. today. I mean, those days, Google was merely a search engine and email services provider. Now, after billions of lines of code, see how seamless you can get information online these days. Look at YouTube, Google Suite (mail, chat, meet, docs, sheets, etc).

If it's for Tesla to improve hardware, write more codes, employ more researchers, they will eventually get it right

Cauhlins:
This is just sad and a downside of driverless cars. Quick question for the experts: Aren't driverless cars equipped to auto detect obstacles? If yes, how did this happen?

A proper investigation needs to be carried out

Bro it did not encounter an obstacle. From what was written it failed to negotiate a turn due to speed or something.

Why not use manual driving. Its safe! I am not saying the Tesla car was hack but there are chances the car could also be remotely control or hack.

EzzyCarter:
As much as this self-driving tech is a wonderful innovation from Tesla, I definitely won't take any chance making use of it on Nigerian Terrain. trust me, these horrible roads and reckless drivers defy human intelligence so trusting an AI driven car with your life would definitely be suicidal . You've only got one life

Imagine fully automated car in Lagos

MASTAkiLLAh:
such a case will be read on arrival, even if you're using the driverless feature, it's mandated for an experienced human driver to still be behind the steering wheel. Both passengers were not

Please what is the use of an experience driver behind the wheel of a driverless car moving at 150 to 180kph that unexpectedly swerve off the road?

lordlugards:
udontmeanit.

I don't understand. The car doesn't uses fuel so how did it get burnt.

Naybahood:
See better law suit


500 million dollars

kobo dem no go get. Tesla already said the car should be manned always and not 100% autonomous so their death is just sara.



You can go to their site to read about it. And it's also part of what you agreed to while buying it

Even aeroplane that operates with software still has 2pilots to fly it,such carelessness tesla cars won't sell in nigeria,software that can contact viruses.

oyibo ppl and rough play sha!
Even driving with both hands sef accident dey happen talk less of computer-driven wey fit 'shutdown' at any moment.

And the model in which Tesla derived his AI model is not top notch.

Olam09:
Technology can never replace human, it still needs human to function. That's how they wanna replace teachers with robot that's fuckíng impossible!

Well, most passenger jetliners practically fly themselves, so of course software has been ferrying humans for a long time.

There were many crashes and deaths before flying became safe and routine.

Level 5 cars on FSD are an inevitability.

that's more possible than a driverless car
a robot teacher will be so much simple

A proper investigation needs to be carried out

they auto detect obstacles with prolly a supervised and unsupervised model.

am sure the vehicle would have avoided all obstacles b4 reaching the tree, in conclusion the cause of the accident might be an analyzing issue, the tree not coming into the computer vision's view and it is said that it was traveling at high speed.
