This is an example of ongoing failure in the crash “avoidance” technology promoted since 2016 by the Tesla CEO.
The incident, which happened at 7:58 p.m., occurred at 532 U.S 65 and resulted in the death of Michael A. Dickey, 51, of Greenbrier.
According to the report, two cars — including Dickey in a 2023 Ford — were travelling north on U.S. 65. Dickey was driving in the No. 1 traffic lane, and a 2023 Tesla was in the No. 2 traffic lane, Arkansas State Police said. Dickey’s Ford entered the No. 2 lane and struck the right side of the Tesla, the report stated.
Following the collision, the Ford rotated counterclockwise and crossed over the center turn lane into the southbound lanes, according to the report.
Dickey was killed because of the Tesla crash, which begs the obvious question why it wasn’t avoided as marketed.
This tweet was fraudulent and dangerous. The owner died two weeks later in a May 2016 crash from believing the CEO — that his car had collision avoidance that it did NOT have.Even though Autopilot had no evidence of improving safety, let alone reducing deaths, the CEO fraudulently claimed he would magically end ALL fatalities (even non-occupant) by using unproven software on low-quality hardware. In fact, since 2016 deaths from Tesla have rapidly increased.
A Boston police cruiser and a Tesla crashed Monday night, causing long delays on the Green Line’s B Branch because of a wrecked SUV on the train tracks.
Police have not yet explained whether the crash was a targeted attack. Another MA police officer recently was killed as other officers observed a Tesla driving the wrong way and didn’t immediately prevent it from crashing straight into him.
The CEO of Tesla, an infamous anti-government political extremist stoking fears of war, hasn’t yet claimed responsibility for his crashes in context of claims of building millions of centrally planned and controlled road robots that never miss their targets.
A Cincinnati woman is dead and three others injured, including an officer, when police say she drove the wrong way on Ronald Reagan Highway Saturday night and hit another car head-on.
Police say it was around 11:30 p.m. when 59-year-old Terri Lynn Hayes drove up the exit ramp to Hunt Road and went the wrong way on the highway.
They say Hayes was driving the wrong way for less than a quarter-mile when her Tesla struck another car head-on, injuring two of the passengers in that vehicle.
Investigators are playing dumb, given they know a huge change from everything that has ever happened before is… Tesla “driverless” is dumb and blind.
Police are still trying to determine why Hayes would enter the highway where she did. “The entrance ramp there is well marked and we’ve never had an issue there that I’m aware of where somebody’s went the wrong way,” said Capt. Pohlman
It’s only get worse for police unless the police start to prosecute Tesla and hold the car company accountable.
Perhaps the notable part of this newest Tesla crash is that so far no victim identification has been possible.
Just before 9 a.m., Thomas County deputies along with the Thomas Couty Fire Department and Georgia State Patrol responded to a wreck on U.S. 319 North near Merrillville Road, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post around 12:40 p.m. Monday. Deputies arrived and found a red Tesla vehicle fully engulfed in flames, according to TCSO. Two victims were found dead inside the vehicle, deputies said.
Update: this was yet another tragic “veered” crash into a tree, very typical of the Tesla mechanical, harware and software design defects:
On Dec. 23, Magarret Brion Smith, 35 and Karter Smith, 14, died in the crash when their Tesla struck a pecan tree, and became engulfed in flames.
The pace of Tesla crashes has alarmingly climbed to five times the rate of production, becoming known as the deadliest and most dangerous car on the road.
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.
