> The self-driving subject vehicle is a 2020 Tesla Model 3. The Tesla fatally struck a motorcyclist from behind at above 100MPH on a 45MPH speed limit road FSD cannot be turned on above 85 mph. If you try to accelerate above 85 mph it disengages. > That’s how you would strike a motorcyclist at such extreme speed, simply press the accelerator and all other inputs are apparently overridden. If the user is pressing the accelerator pedal, it overrides the autopilot. I’m not sure how FSD could reasonably be blamed in that situation. The article also talks about Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC). There is a nuance between the different systems. This is not Full Self-Driving (FSD). It is an older system that Tesla provides for free. All it does is try to maintain a set speed, and you still have to steer. If the user is pressing the accelerator pedal, it overrides the system. I am not sure how FSD could reasonably be blamed in that situation. |
