I mean this could have easily been prevented investigators tell Kanan
miraculously all three are in stable condition in hospital a stark reminder
on this long holiday weekend and the OPP slow down and move over campaign over
the weekend ladies and gentlemen in Connecticut we had a Tesla crash on
autopilot as stated by the driver now this burns my buttons because why
are we trying to say it's Tesla's fault number one and number two of thousands
of accidents that happened with cars every single day we want to make a
report on the Tesla is that because we have so many gasoline drivers out there
hating because they see this front coming on the movement well we're gonna
dive into this video see the report and break this thing down as I am a Tesla
owner I'm gonna try to help you guys discern what really happened if you're
finding me for the first time please subscribe to the channel be sure to
follow me on all my social media links there is a link for a Tesla group I am
involved with that does YouTube create it material to help you guys learn more
about the electric car movement this is definitely a video to help you learn
because no matter how you shake this up this is not something you can blame or
Tesla or the car itself let's take a look at the news clip and then we'll
come back and follow up they say self-driving cars of the future but
there have been some speed bumps on the way there and the latest is this weekend
in Connecticut a driver had his Tesla in auto pilot mode but he crashed and
police were right there because they're the ones who got hit this morning the
automotive super giant Tesla and it's autopilot mode under fire once again for
the company's self-driving feature police tell the hartford courant this
2018 Tesla Model 3 was in auto pilot mode driving down Interstate 95 in
Norwalk Connecticut when the driver checked on his dog in the back seat the
car slamming into the rear of a police cruiser parked on the side of the
highway it's not designed for you to look into the back of your car and check
on your dog or your child or just read a text you have to keep your hands on the
wheel this isn't the first time test autopilot feature allegedly failed last
year a driver of a Tesla died in a highway crash that car also reportedly
in the self-driving mode when the vehicle slammed into a highway barrier
it's not self-driving it's not a robot car we're not there quite yet we've
reached out to Tesla for comment but they have not responded in past
instances Tesla has said autopilot mode is not a self-driving system it's an
advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind
the wheel now even though the car was in auto pilot mode this driver is now
charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment it's a reminder
that these cars help you drive but they don't do all the driving for you ladies
and gentlemen as a Tesla owner I think my question to this particular person
who said he put the car autopilot to check on the doll which is no excuse for
taking your eyes off the road in the first place does he really know the
difference between fully self-driving and auto pilot one could make an
argument that autopilot is cruise control on steroids because of the Tesla
driver when you put the car on a full self-driving mode not just the autopilot
you can buy our Tesla with autopilot and it not come with self-driving mode but
when you put the car in autopilot every few seconds you're going to get this
blue light that comes on that if you don't touch that wheel it is going to
make you take the wheel is going to give you this flashing red light you have to
take over control and keep your hands on the wheel I'm wondering if this guy has
enough knowledge as a Tesla owner to know the difference because if you just
put the car in autopilot mode it's not gonna self Drive the steering wheels not
going to control it for you and I'm wondering if he knows the difference
this is not something you can attempt to blame on the car or Tesla and it's
technology this is full driver error and even if it was in fully self-driving
mode you're not supposed to be back there messing around
which kid which dog I don't care how precious they are this is no different
if you fly airplane some of you people know because my audience tends to be
very smart a airplane can self-drive itself but if
the airplane is self-driving and the passenger is asleep at the wheel I mean
the captain is asleep at the wheel and the plane crashes whose fault is that
is it the airplanes fault is it the airline's fault hell no it's the fault
of the captain of the airplane because you should have had enough gumption to
stay alert you know when the plane is doing something wrong and correct it
that's your job no different from this guy in this Tesla now I hope that Tesla
looks into this makes a statement and just comes out and said it was driver
error because as you saw in the report they have a hard time getting up with
Tesla and in all honesty what does Tesla need to say in this regard because this
was full driver error no matter how you shake it up there are so many people out
there who are hating on this technology who are just hating on Tesla in general
because they don't like the electric car movement that these type of stories
become a lightning rod to support they are misinformed narrative so I want you
guys to leave me your comments how do you feel about this story am I getting
it wrong do I seem like a fanboy I'm just trying to give you the reasonable
facts as a Tesla owner but leave me your comments let's further this discussion
but ladies and gentlemen this particular situation stop blaming it on Tesla or
the car that's gonna do it for this video don't forget to like my video
