NJ Tesla Crashes Into Barrier and Trash Truck

Allegedly the Tesla crashed when its “driverless” algorithm attempted a high speed maneuver to pass a trash truck on its left, despite an obvious large concrete barrier blocking that path.

A Tesla rode about 100 yards on top of a Jersey barrier on Interstate 76 Friday morning. The crash led to two people being hospitalized.

Blindness to barriers has been an ongoing problem for the highly defective Tesla software. Think of it like this, the hardware and software is so bad at 3D space recognition it can’t deduce that a concrete barrier is vertical with oncoming traffic behind it, instead just seeing the flat concrete as a horizontal empty lane.

These Tesla owners were lucky to survive, given so many other cases where deaths followed sudden acceleration forward crashing into the back of a truck.

Many dozens have been killed by Tesla’s aggressive campaigns of “Full Self Driving” turning out to be the opposite of what was advertised.

Tesla FSD is So Blind it Has to Crash

Hello fellow journalists. As you may know I exposed a while ago how independent reporting (e.g. TeslaDeaths.com) has been the most reliable source of Tesla safety data, because Trump intentionally gutted the NHTSA since 2016.

Here’s what happened with the Tesla death rate after Trump’s deregulation.

Tesla deaths per year have been rising so fast they clearly stand out from any other car manufacturer. There have been more Tesla deaths just in the last few months of 2024 than the entire production run of the Ford Pinto. Source: TeslaDeaths.com

Key Observations: Data clearly shows that both serious incidents (orange line) and fatal incidents (pink line) are increasing at a steeper rate than the fleet size growth (blue line). This is particularly evident from 2021 onwards, where: Fleet size (blue) shows a linear growth of about 1x per year. Serious incidents (orange) show an exponential growth curve, reaching nearly 5x by 2024. Fatal incidents (pink) also show a steeper-than-linear growth, though not as dramatic as serious incidents. The divergence between the blue line (fleet growth) and the incident lines (orange and pink) indicates that incidents are indeed accelerating faster than the production/deployment of new vehicles.

Let the independent investigations begin (again)!

Not only are fast rising Tesla deaths from design defects worse than any car in history, we’re now seeing how blame goes straight to intentional anti-safety management decisions.

Journalists have been putting together a unified database in a bid to match those cases with corresponding NHTSA submissions. This allowed WSJ journalists to discover details about 222 crashes involving Tesla Autopilot.

Of them, 44 occurred when Teslas on Autopilot veered suddenly off the road. In 31 crashes, Tesla EVs driving on Autopilot failed to stop or yield for an obstacle in front of it. These two types of crashes account for the most serious injuries and deaths in the cases the WSJ unlocked.

The investigation revealed that Tesla’s driver assistance systems have difficulties in low-visibility situations. Tesla’s reliance on a vision-only sensor set has been blamed for such crashes, and videos extracted from the Autopilot computers showed that the system failed to acknowledge obscured objects when others, more visible, were also in the picture.

Put a blindfold on, tie your hands behind your back, and call yourself the future oracle of seeing things! That’s Tesla.

The company is such an obvious fraud, a dirty money laundering catastrophe, it’s only a matter of time before the Enron of transit disappears from the weight of its own stupidity.

Card Systems had to be shutdown by the card brands themselves who were suffering tens of millions of harmed accounts. But in Tesla’s case they seem to literally bank on the idea that killing customers with fraud carries no accountability other than hush-money settlements with survivors.

America is awash in billionare grifter crimes from an unregulated and undermined market being artificially hedged by intentionally bad actors.

Tesla is a tragedy. Say goodbye to anyone stepping in or around one, because they won’t have long to live.

Tesla Breakthrough in Artificial Deaf-and-Blindness: Crashes Into School Bus

In what engineers are calling a breakthrough in artificial deaf-and-blindness, a Tesla automobile has successfully ignored bright red traffic signals and crashed into the broadside of a big yellow school bus in Visalia, California.

The infamously flammable vehicle, apparently believing that large yellow rectangles are merely suggestions, demonstrated its commitment to ignoring basic road safety by collecting a complete set: red light, school bus, and common sense, all in one maneuver from the future of transit.

The company’s mostly alien and foreign-visa engineering team (unable to quit the horrible company without being deported from America) have mastered the art of not seeing things that any distracted toddler could still identify. It is said they now are working on their next breakthrough: convincing investors that crashing into a clearly marked SCHOOL bus is all part of their genius valuation plan.

A crash between a Visalia Unified school bus and a Tesla caused major damage after the car allegedly ran a stop light on Wednesday, the Visalia Police Department said. According to Visalia Police, the crash happened around 2:20 p.m. at the intersection of Akers Street and Ferguson Avenue in Visalia.

Industry experts note this is merely the latest achievement in Tesla’s ongoing mission to transform “autopilot” from a reassuring term into an anxiety trigger.

This is a repeat problem with Tesla, due to their CEO spending far too much time censoring liberal speech and erasing any criticism of his ballooning technical debt, instead of actually paying bills and well, paying attention.

His latest act has been throwing fist fulls of dollars at American and German politicians, hoping they’ll be as blind to Tesla failures as his cars are to pedestrians. When asked about such mounting safety concerns, the CEO of Tesla pointed to his mountain of campaign receipts from anti-woke politicians and suggested that if American school buses don’t want to get hurt, they shouldn’t dress so provocatively yellow.

Moscow Blames Electric Scooter for Chemical Weapons Chief Assasination

Let’s call this story a buried lede. An electric vehicle that exploded by remote control, not very unlike a pager or a Tesla, has been called out by Russian officials trying to explain how they just lost their chief of chemical weapons.

…according to Russian authorities, [their suspect] confessed that he had been recruited by Ukrainian intelligence to kill Kirillov. “On their instructions, he arrived in Moscow and was given a homemade explosive device. He placed it on an electric scooter, which he parked at the entrance to the apartment building where Igor Kirillov lived,” the spokesperson for the Russian Investigative Committee said.

The future of warfare arrived five years ago.

What do you think in a city when you find the ugly American electric scooter, or the even uglier Tesla, haphazardly parked in everyone’s way?

You know what I mean. Scooters and Tesla are known uniquely for habits of parking irregularly and often hazardously.

In other words Moscow should have known better, especially their chief of chemical weapons.

Paris wasn’t wrong and their referendum on safety had clearly warned the Russian leaders.

Three companies, Lime, Dott and Tier… were dogged with complaints from some quarters of the city over issues like safety, reckless riding and parking. […] Over 90% of voters that turned out to the polls voted in favor of the ban.

And England hasn’t been messing about either.

PC Mitch Hunt said people …should know it is against the law to use them anywhere other than on private land. “It is an offence to ride an e-scooter in a public space,” he said.

Ding dong, Igor Kirillov is gone, and the horrible anti-safety scooters that killed him still are allowed in Moscow.

Now, think again about Tesla. Imagine Putin offering Elon Musk a deal to activate thousands of unsold EV inventory, already being suspiciously manipulated strategically into a launch pattern from an old Air Force base outside of Berlin.

[Putin’s propagandist] aligned the intellectual level of American politicians to Soviet kindergartener… These people who are being announced as potential members of [Trump’s] team certainly bring us lots of joy. Most of these people are constant guests of RT’s broadcasts. Until RT was shut down, they were our constant guests. For example, Tulsi Gabbard, who keeps being hounded about this right now, “Ah, you love RT, you constantly shared their clips, you constantly went there.” Well, she did come to us all the time, it’s true. It’s not something you can conceal…

What’s stopping anyone (including hackers) from manipulating these “Americans with the intelligence of Soviet kindergarteners” in order to send all their explosive centrally remote-controlled chemical cluster munitions into EU cities to cause mass destruction?

Scooters at least need a human to keep them upright.
