At this point, one might wonder why we read about Indian families so frequently in the news mourning their losses to Tesla.

Four people are dead and another is in hospital after a Tesla driving through downtown Toronto at a high rate of speed crashed into a guardrail and struck a concrete pillar on Lake Shore Boulevard.

It happened in the eastbound lanes of the busy road, east of Cherry Street, shortly before 12:15 a.m.

“The vehicle lost control, struck a guardrail and then struck a concrete pillar. Upon impact, the vehicle then caught fire,” Duty Inspector Phillip Sinclair told reporters Thursday morning.

Apparently some people still haven’t got the memo that Tesla are such poor quality they become death traps. Many Indian upwardly mobile families apparently fall victim to targeted fraud, buying into a false privilege ticket that ends up killing them.

One person survived the crash, thanks to bystanders with a metal pole who rushed to smash a window after the doors failed to open. Tesla has a long-standing door release defect that causes many of its crash victims to be burned to death while trapped inside.

After Uber was introduced to London streets, the rate of hit and run accidents rose 40%.

The economics of transit contractors in borrowed cars should have predicted the shift, especially given it was a known problem of hackers in the 1800s when ride share was invented. The unbalanced incentives of driverless cars are even more stark, as low quality robot engineering will push hit and run rates even higher.

Tesla is showing the effects already, as reported by victims.

She was parked in the mall parking lot when another car crashed into hers.

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” she said. “I saw no one in the car. There was no driver, no passenger. It was an empty car that was driving itself into my car.”

She said the Tesla scraped the back of her car as it pulled out and “kept going after impact.”

And when I say predictable, I mean easily predictable.

…Tesla [driverless] happens to have the highest number of crashes by a vast margin. Teslas reported 183 more crashes than second place Honda, and 263 more than third place Subaru…

By a vast margin, Tesla is worse than any other brand. The company is fraud. It shamelessly peddles terrible and unworkable designs, with a high likelihood of causing serious harm to society.

Police have opened an investigation as to why a Tesla killed a woman.

At 9:01 p.m., the CHP was informed that a pedestrian was struck by a white Tesla model X in middle lanes. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The initial radio report indicated a white female adult without a shirt and in camouflage shorts had attempted to run across lanes, and then back to the right shoulder.

8:55 PM 3 [8] PER DUP – WFA NO SHIRT, CAMO SHORTS // ATT TO RUN ACROSS LNS, THEN BACK TO RS

Seven minutes later, the radio report said a car crashed into the pedestrian.

9:02 PM 25 [65] C86-504 PED HAS BEEN HIT

The damage indicates the Tesla driver was not paying attention and hit the pedestrian at full speed.

This may not seem obvious, but Tesla has a unique problem seeing pedestrians let alone any living things in the road.

Why do these Tesla fail to see any deer, let alone pedestrians?

Bad engineering.

The first pedestrian fatality by a Tesla was 2018, at the same time as Uber. In response, Uber shut down their entire driverless program and their driver was in high profile court. Tesla by comparison paid their lawyers to bury the case in bureaucracy. They then introduced a $10,000 upsell to customers, claiming a completely driverless car (collision avoidance) would come in the next year. Six years later they’re still killing pedestrians like nothing has changed.

The regulator wording is precise, yet necessarily open to investigation results.

Tesla “driverless” claims are apparently impossible, so the NHTSA has opened a formal case regarding hardware defects (from 2016 to today) too severe to ignore.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has identified four Standing General Order (SGO) reports in which a Tesla vehicle experienced a crash after entering an area of reduced roadway visibility conditions with FSD -Beta or FSD -Supervised (collectively, FSD) engaged. In these crashes, the reduced roadway visibility arose from conditions such as sun glare, fog, or airborne dust. In one of the crashes, the Tesla vehicle fatally struck a pedestrian. One additional crash in these conditions involved a reported injury. The four SGO crash reports are listed at the end of this summary by SGO number.

ODI has opened a Preliminary Evaluation of FSD (a system labeled by Tesla as a partial driving automation system),which is optionally available in the Model Year (MY) 2016-2024 Models S and X, 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck.

In other words, Tesla has claimed it can see the road when it can’t see the road.

The infamous cost-cutting “camera” marketing stunts of Elon Musk have done exactly what was expected by safety experts; failed to deliver.

Reuters puts it far too mildly:

Tesla’s “camera-only” approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors.

Some industry experts? What kind of industry expert didn’t think Tesla FSD would fail to become safe? It’s fraud, and only a matter of time before the hidden causes of mass suffering are exposed.

I guess Reuters also could say some analysts on Wall Street really believed Bernie Madoff investments could have worked out. The fact anyone believes Musk or Madoff is the problem.

There’s no driverless that requires the driver always to be the eyes and ears. And we see an official investigation now proving that Tesla will never achieve eyes.

Right Mobileye? The undisputed world leader in driverless technology quietly warned industry experts in 2016 when Tesla split off in an “ethics” dispute.

There’s no Tesla without fraud.
