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.
