Dateline, Düsseldorf! In a move that’s sure to ruffle some feathers at Tesla HQ, a German court has officially ruled that Tesla’s Autopilot system is “unsuitable for use” due to a long-standing issue: phantom braking. You know, that fun little quirk where your car slams the brakes for no reason.
I’ve said it before, those cars should not be street legal.
I was at an event years ago and had the chance to talk with one of the engineers that worked on the Model X. I mentioned the QA and reliability issues with the falcon doors. He took offense to me bringing up that there were issues with the car. Dude. You’re not a good engineer if you look at the product and think it’s perfect. There will ALWAYS be something more to improve upon. If you take feedback poorly, you are refusing the help of others to improve.
I’m guessing that hyper-defensiveness is probably a survival tactic at Tesla.
That’s more than 1 brake check per hour at the speed they were testing the system at.
Yes in fact at 200 km/h it’s almost 2 per hour!!!
That’s insane. 🤪
