Data scientists who read this blog have confirmed to me privately that the Tesla robots have a problem crashing into poles (including trees). On a related note the total recall of another brand has specifically called out “driverless” software failing to properly see and avoid poles.

With that in mind, yet another Tesla has crashed into a pole at high speed. Autopilot failure is suspected, not yet confirmed.

Three people are in hospital after a Tesla and ambulance crashed in the Brisbane CBD.

The black Model 3 sedan collided with street poles before rear-ending the ambulance about 3pm on Ann Street, between Central Station and King George Square.

It crashed at such high speed it continued crashing into more poles before finally being stopped by… an ambulance. Two emergency responders are said to have been hospitalized by the Tesla crashing into them. In other words, even multiple poles were unable to stop a Tesla from dangerously impacting an ambulance and its crew.

The Brisbane Times points out how this single car crash had a response more like a terrorist attack.

More than a dozen police, paramedics and firefighters remain on the scene. “It was so loud we could hear it from the 18th floor,” one onlooker told Brisbane Times. […] Eight emergency vehicles have been called to the street.

Imagine now if the CEO pushed a button for ten of his remote controlled Tesla robotaxis to crash like this into critical infrastructre. Would 80 emergency vehicles need to be called? And if 100 remote Tesla robotaxis got the order to attack in Australia, are there even 800 emergency vehicles available to respond?

It’s not a coincidence that the company run by a white supremacist has sold the idea of an 88 kWh engine with 88 features driving itself at 88 km/h to a site with 88 charging stations… on 8/8.

Think of the racist UK riots as the Tesla 8/8 Robotaxi reveal. And then look at the damage this one robot has caused.
