Court Deposition by Tesla Admits “Driverless” is Simple Lane Assist

This is exactly what I proved with a team of civilian and ex-military security experts in 2016 (riding a crashed and hacked Tesla around Oakland). And also why I have blogged and presented publicly since then about the unmistakable intentional fraud of Tesla.

“If there are clearly marked lane lines, the system will follow the lane lines,” Phatak said under questioning in July 2023. Tesla’s groundbreaking system, he said, was simply “designed” to follow painted lane lines.

[…]

For years, Tesla and federal regulators have been aware of problems with Autopilot following lane lines, including cars being guided in the wrong direction of travel and placed in the path of cross-traffic — with sometimes fatal results. Unlike vehicles that are designed to be completely autonomous, like cars from Waymo or Cruise, Teslas do not currently use sensors…

Tens or even hundreds dead.

Unnecessarily.

More frequent then plane crashes.

Preventable.

And yet, somehow, Tesla still is allowed to operate its known deadly and defective designs on public roads.

Don’t be caught dead in or around one.

OH Tesla Blows Stop Sign and Kills Two

Another day, another Tesla ignoring stop signs and killing people.

Anthony Conley, 38, of Canal Winchester was westbound on West Waterloo Street in a 2016 Tesla Model S when he failed to stop at a stop sign coming out of the shopping plaza, striking a southbound 2015 Buick Enclave on Gender Road.

Smith was driving the Enclave with two passengers, Sherri Smith, 60, and the unnamed juvenile, all of whom were from Columbus, according to the press release.

Wayne Smith and the juvenile died at the scene, and Sherri Smith was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital in critical condition.

The Tesla must have been accelerating at high speed to kill two people in a crash on such a small approach. West Waterloo Street is very short.

5 Day Old Tesla Cybertruck Has Catastrophic Brake Failure

The more you know about Tesla, the less you want them to be on the road. A five day old truck experienced no brakes and crashed.

The driver wrote: ‘Guys I had my Truck for less than 350 miles. Something happened I can’t explain… I was driving like usual and when coming into a turn releasing the accelerator but the speed wasn’t reducing… so I pressed the brake… but it didn’t engage…. until it was too late and I hit a signal light pole, also airbags didn’t deploy.’

According to the driver’s replies to questions, they had only been driving the truck for five days, and the issue happened suddenly and abruptly.

[…]

Nonetheless, the owner’s enthusiasm for their Cybertruck did not seem diminished.

‘Everything was spectacular I enjoy the vehicle and I’m glad…’

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Related, a new Cybertruck breaks down (no pun intended) in the first mile after it’s driven off the lot.

In a recently shared video, Remo can be seen picking up his $100,000 electric pickup from the dealership. But mere minutes into his first strip, the entire screen starts flashing red, with a notice appearing on the vehicle’s screen instructing him to “PULL OVER SAFELY.” A loud warning sound only adds to the chaotic scene.

The terrifying incident highlights the automaker’s reputation for poor quality control. Fans have long been appalled at the condition of their newly-delivered Teslas — and the Cybertruck, the first vehicle of its kind, is no different.

Notably the command to “SAFELY PULL OVER” needs to be said on a truck that is anything but safe, and can’t pull. Reputation for poor quality control is an understatement.

The owner of… Cybertruck reported that her brand new Tesla electric vehicle was ‘completely dead’ after just 4 days. ‘The car was unresponsive even though it was almost fully charged,’ the distraught Cybertruck owner from Southern California told… [us] documenting the drama.

At this rate, Tesla may go bankrupt by 2025.
