>The first person to die in a U.S. crash involving a car in self-driving mode
>his car's cameras failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer rig from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically activate its brakes
>rank Baressi, 62, the driver of the tractor-trailer and owner of Okemah Express LLC, said the Tesla driver was "playing Harry Potter on the TV screen" and driving so quickly that "he went so fast through my trailer I didn't see him."
Which one was he watching?
I'd rather get in the tanker from The Wages of Fear, than a "self-driving car"
>let a car drive itself
>what could possibly go wrong :D
I'm surprised it took so long.

Was it part of Teslas masterplan?
>read the article
>this is actually a fucking conspiracy
>Baressi said in an in an interview from his home in Palm Harbor, Florida. He acknowledged he couldn't see the movie, only heard it.
>Tesla Motors Inc. said it is not possible to watch videos on the Model S touch screen.
>loud vehicles going fast
>still managed to hear a movie over all of this and identify it as harry potter
BUT IT GETS DEEPER
>Brown's published obituary described him as a member of the Navy SEALs for 11 years and founder of a wireless Internet network and camera system company. In Washington, the Pentagon confirmed Brown's work with the SEALs and said he left the service in 2008.

Do you think he browses /tv/?

>Be in deadly traumatic car accident
>Most people goes in deep depression and can't handle life after this
>Interview comes up to you
>Start talking about harry potter and your ability to identify films by sound alone, glad you can finally showcase your power!
Yeh, he is /tv/ for sure
>be a truck driver
>just driving along the highway
>hear a faint sound, getting louder and louder by the split-second, culminating in a deafening voice zooming past your car
>hooooooowEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEERR *crash*

Yes yes, well done Tesla, well done.
HOWEVER
Yes, yes, well done, Tesla. Well done, Tesla.HOWEVER

Skynet, boys. Its habbening

The movie was almost certainly playing on a phone or tablet. Electric cars are very quiet.
Sounds like the guy was just legitimately retarded. Although Tesla are certainly to blame too, using a fucking system of CAMERAS to determine safe distances? That's just asking for trouble.
How is it legal to let the car drive by itself? Isn't that kind of technology still in its infacy?
>>71508685
>Some fat lazy American was too busy stuffing his fat face to watch the road, and instead let the car drive him automatically while having no self awareness
What dumb fuck does things like this? You may as well activate cruise control on your car and expect it to not veer off and crash when you hit an oil slick.
>>71509307
Probably because it's still in its infancy and there is no legislation on it yet
>now i'm imagining a shitty volvo crashing into the side of a fucking trailer at breakneck speed with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htaj3o3JD8I&t=3m12s playing in the background
Thank you for the laughs, OP

shoo shoo shill

Corporations as well car companies usually spend millions of dollars for lobbying in congress for laws like this.
AI is retarded and doesn't work yet, anywhere
trying to shoehorn it in anything of import will end in catastrophy

It's not like it's hard to identify Harry Potter with sound alone.
>Harry Potter
>Harry!
>Harry Potter...
>10 points to Gryffindor
>HARRY POTTER
>Alohomora
>Harry... Potter...
>HOWEVER
>>71509307
What isn't forbidden is allowed.

How did this retard become a SEAL? I thought you had to pass extremely rigorous mental exams.
>>71509872
>reading comprehension
>>71509904
Yes, you should get some.
>>71509757
Don't forget:
>'ARRY DIDJA PUT YER NAME IN THA GOBLET 'A FIAH?
>It was hacked

If Steven Seagal can become a CIA agent, surely anybody can become a SEAL.
>>71508951
wtf i'm a conspiracy theorist now
>>71508685
Looks like he got hit by an Avada Cadaver

Fuck I wish I didn't laugh at that.
