Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road (futurism.com)

In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

Of course it disengages self driving modes before an impact. Why would they want to be liable for absolutely anything?

The bar set for self-driving cars: Can it recognize and respond correctly to a deliberate optical illusion?

The bar set for humans: https://youtu.be/ks11nuGGupI

For the record, I do want the bar for self-driving safety to be high. I also want human drivers to be better... Because even not-entirely-safe self-driving cars may still be safer than humans at a certain point.

Also, fuck Tesla.
