OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

I roll my eyes at the dishonest bad faith takes people have in the comments about how people do the same thing behind the wheel. Like that's going to make autopiloting self-driving cars an exception. Least a person can react, can slow down or do anything that an unthinking, going-by-the-pixels computer can't do at a whim.

Why does this read like an ad for cybertrucks for people who would want to run over deer

What's Kennedy driving these days?

People are well known for never ever running over anything or anyone.

It was an illegal deer immigrant, it recognised it, added it to the database on Tesla servers, and mowed it down before it took any jobs or whatever the hate-concern was.

/s

... but some actual technically human people do the same when they see an animal, don't they?

I know a lot of people here are/will be mad at Musk simply for personal political disagreement, but even just putting that aside, I've never liked the idea of self-driving cars. There's just too much that can go wrong too easily, and in a 1-ton piece of metal and glass moving at speeds up to near 100 mph, you need to be able to have the control enough to respond within a few seconds if the unexpected happens, like a deer jumping in the middle of the road. Computers don't, and may never, have the benefit of contextual awareness to make the right decision as often as a human would in those situations. I'm not going to cheer for the downfall of Musk or Tesla as a whole, but they do severely need to reconsider this idea or else there will be a lot of people hurt and/or killed and a lot of liability on them when it happens. That's a lot of risk to take on for a smaller auto maker like them, just thinking in business terms.

Elon's Death

For a brief moment, I was so excited... Rip deer.

Just a small clarification.... Teslas only kill forward or backwards. Hardly ever has a car killed left or right 😂.
