Tesla Reports Fatal Crashes, Then Censors Almost Everything

Guida autonoma, Tesla segnala gli incidenti mortali e poi censura quasi tutto - ClubAlfa.it

Tesla reports thousands of incidents involving its driver-assist systems to NHTSA but censors nearly all details, citing trade secrets. An investigation by Electrek matched uncensored data with police reports to identify fatal crashes where Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was active, including cases of speeding, sudden stops, and left-turn collisions. Despite marketing the software as fully autonomous, Tesla attributes blame to drivers while the systems remain Level 2, requiring constant human supervision.

Tesla Autopilot fails to centre car, shredding tyres in Redmond

In summer 2017, Eric Horvitz activated the Autopilot function of his Tesla sedan while driving in Redmond, Washington. The system failed to centre the car properly, causing both driver's side tyres to hit a raised curb and shred instantly. Horvitz regained control and watched his car being towed away. He reported the incident to Tesla, which he says was more concerned about liability than addressing ethical issues with its AI.

Tesla Model S on Autopilot crashes into stationary van on Swiss highway

A Tesla Model S owner in Switzerland was using the car's Autopilot and Adaptive Cruise Control on a highway when the system failed to detect a stationary van after the preceding vehicle changed lanes. The car accelerated slightly and collided with the van, causing front-end damage that required replacement of parts including a parking sensor and a steel beam. The driver acknowledged they could have reacted sooner but had grown to trust the system after many successful trips. Tesla's manual warns that the system may not brake for stationary vehicles in such situations.

Tesla Autopilot crashes into parked police SUV in Laguna Beach

On 29 May 2018, Dave Key's Tesla Model S, operating in Autopilot mode, drifted out of its lane and collided with a parked police SUV in Laguna Beach, California. No one was injured, but the car was written off. The crash was attributed to a known limitation of Tesla's AI, which struggled to distinguish stationary objects from the background. Key, a former software entrepreneur, later bought three more Teslas and used the Full Self-Driving beta.
