It’s happening now. This is on my doorstep and whilst it is on a controlled campus, the roads are used by regular cars, buses, bicycles etc.

Classic crap news used to scare people about Tesla.
Summary: Man crashes car whilst *not* using advanced safety features.
Unfortunately due to a small number of idiots and a large number of paranoid conspiracy theorists, Full Self Drive always has to be engaged manually for the moment. Robots are dangerous you see, whereas Humans aren't.

Clearly the company felt it necessary to suspend the fleet after someone died and a number of further injuries while they actually investigate what happened.
Tesla themselves also seem to be prepared to recall cars with potential faults (before accidents happen?)

Not sure why anyone really needs a rear camera in a car (not like a Tesla is a huge arctic with massive blind spots
)And why does anyone need to play games on a car's touchscreen?

I love the cameras in my car - I get a 360 view which is great for parking in tight spots. I still have all of the mirrors but it's a nice extra.Clearly the company felt it necessary to suspend the fleet after someone died and a number of further injuries while they actually investigate what happened.

No problem with offering games on a cars screen so long as you can only use it when parked. Madness otherwise.

You mean like seat belt warnings, air bags, fog lights, and god knows what else that people still manage to get around ?

Imagine that - we can be close passed from the sides and above !
UK is granting license to several manufacturers to trial driverless vehicles, I believe this year. Public transport will go driverless too in the future
There was an alleged spate of crashes involving Tesla's allegedly speeding up all on their own.Still doesn't bode well. The thought of an automated car on crowded roads sounds like a utopian nightmare to me
The NHTSA found no evidence other than driver error.
The conspiracy began when a trader on the stock market was trying to short sell Tesla stock. He created a complaints page. All crashes, Tesla collects all telemetry from the cars systems. The cars were found to be blameless.

How did you manage to park before cameras assuming you’ve been driving more than a few years?
