How many times does this need to happen before idiots stop trusting fsd? The first few times I felt bad, but it's been dozens of times over multiple years. These are the same people that blindly trust AI for health advice.
These things shouldnt be on the road. Look, if we're gonna have a government it better govern shit like this like its supposed to. Blaming the people is just kicking left at best, and kicking down at worse to avoid regulations.
I think both can be true. They absolutely should be regulated into the ground, but the massive shortcomings of these shitty cars have been well documented for years. I'd equally judge someone that bought a pinto after the widespread reports that the car would explode when rear ended.
If you ignore glaring safety issues with your vehicle and continue using the faulty systems, I'm not going to pity you when it bites you in the ass. I do feel bad for the kid though, they deserved better than their parent trusting their safety with half assed automation.
