Many people on public roads in America now wonder how safe anyone is when a Tesla is near; how many seconds left before the Tesla has killed again. A Prius driver, for example, was just killed.
According to Kent Police, multiple witnesses stated a Tesla ran a red light at the Central Avenue and Smith Street intersection, colliding with both a gray Prius and a red Prius. Police say the red Prius was reportedly pulling out of a restaurant parking lot, and was hit so hard it was pushed into a nearby wall.
Police referred to it as a homicide investigation, and said they had a warrant issued for tests of the software… no, sorry that’s not right, only of a human who was sitting in the Tesla.
It has the hallmarks of the Tesla AI stop light/sign threat that I’ve written about many times before. One might even say this is a case where, regardless of who is holding the wheel, a robot is being trained to ignore laws and to not stop as expected or required.
