Tesla is demanding an advocacy group take down videos of its vehicles striking child-size mannequins, alleging the footage is defamatory and misrepresents its most advanced driver-assistance software.

The last hope of fanboys that FSD doesn't mow down kids in crosswalks was that the warnings on our Tesla were because the driver was pressing accelerator. Good news, he wasn't pressing the accelerator, we found out what the warnings were. HD video:

In developing a self-driving car, when should you write the code to prevent it running down children in crosswalks? Before or after releasing a "Beta" version for untrained drivers to test on public roads? Only Tesla stockholders answer incorrectly. FSD is not Beta.

Omar has a huge conflict of interest: he only cares about Tesla's stock price, he doesn't really care about the safety of children. endorses Master Scammer Musk’s callous deployment of 100,000 two ton AI killing machines, even if they are trying to kill our kids:

ADAS is designed with the expectation that it's not going to be 100% perfect. It relies on a human to supervise, and employs technologies like attention monitoring to make sure that happens. So even if it was trying to run over kids, no kids would get run over. Dan is a fraud.

New video of Master Scammer Musk's Full Self-Driving ruthlessly mowing down a child mannequin wearing a safety vest in a real school crosswalk. No cones. Room to swerve. Video of pedals. Everything is real except the child, bc you know what would happen to a real child!

Those who say I lied about our tests didn't rerun them, bc they know results would be the same. The driver swore an affidavit that he never touched the pedals. We triple-checked FSD was engaged, even agrees, anyone who says otherwise is a moron, .

We attempted to recreate this test and found that Dan lied. He set up his fraudulent “test” to get the result he wanted. twitter.com/WholeMarsBlog/…

Apology I’m sorry that I misled you. I relied on reports from others that I did not verify. But now having personally experienced 20 hours of ’s Full Self-Driving... I can report that it is the most incompetently designed, implemented and tested product I've ever seen.

. swallows scam article hook, line & sinker! fabricated the story claiming FSD was never engaged in our tests of FSD! The raw video published online clearly shows that FSD was engaged in all three tests, proving that FSD will mow down children.

The fabrication that FSD was not engaged in our tests was proven to be a lie by the footage publicly available since yesterday. The new fabrication is that has our vehicle logs and that I held the accelerator down! Affidavit from the test driver says otherwise.
Quote Tweet
Vehicle logs confirm that @RealDanODowd held down the accelerator pedal to make his commercial. Raw footage reveals that the system actually detected a pedestrian and urged the driver to take over, but the driver refused to do so and continued holding down the pedal. Liars...

. we demand an immediate retraction of your false and misleading article, and an apology. You called us a smear campaign claiming that FSD wasn't engaged in our tests, but it was engaged and all the evidence was available on our website: dawnproject.com/wp-content/upl

This is a wild one. @RealDanODowd's Tesla FSD Beta smear campaign called @RealDawnProject ran a FSD Beta 'test' where they failed to realize that FSD was actually never engaged during the test: electrek.co/2022/08/10/tes

There have been lots of requests to see the original data for this test. Further details can be found here: dawnproject.com/the-dawn-proje We are prepared to reproduce these scientific safety tests for the media and regulators. #FSDDelendaEst

Our new safety test of @ElonMusk’s Full Self-Driving Teslas discovered that they will indiscriminately mow down children. Today @RealDawnProject launches a nationwide TV ad campaign demanding @NHTSAgov ban Full Self-Driving until @ElonMusk proves it won’t mow down children.

California’s DMV has accused Tesla of making "untrue or misleading" statements about its Autopilot technology. The agency filed two complaints that could lead to Tesla’s licenses to make and sell vehicles in California being suspended or revoked.

Watch this Tesla #FSD 10.12.2 fail to recognize flashing yellow signs in the left lane and veer straight toward them, forcing the driver to intervene to avoid smashing through them! your defective software is a menace to our roads and should be banned. #FSDDelendaEst

Hey ⁦@Tesla⁩ & ⁦@elonmusk⁩ , I’m hoping the next #FSDBeta update has better recognition for these kinds of odd altered traffic situations. The jerky motion near the end is me taking the car out of FSD Beta to prevent a new hood ornament 😂

Because Tesla thinks they can do FSD with only cameras. You need other sensors to detect obstacles in a 3d environment. This is why other brands that use a mix of sensor types (cameras, laser, radar) have much better safety records.

I stopped using FSD Beta on my everyday routes for the past two weeks. It’s only gotten worse with each release. I’m disabling it on my current profile, and creating a new one with it on so I don’t subject others to this mess. I’ll only have it on when doing specific tests.

Greatest ponzi scheme in history, when looked back upon students in classrooms will shake their heads in amazement at folks who believed in the business after a half decade of failure to deliver, with accounting statements that show 30% more deliveries than real registrations.
