"first responders had to use 30,000 gallons of water over four hours to put out the fire, as the Tesla’s battery kept reigniting. Authorities tried to contact Tesla for advice on putting out the fire; it’s not clear whether they received any response." https://t.co/VnAQfucV95

テキサスでTesla車が木に突っ込んで燃え上がり、乗車していた2人が死亡。1人は助手席、もう1人は後部座席で見つかったため、自動運転モードで誰も運転席にいなかったのではという話。Teslaは取説で監視なしの自動運転モードを禁止しているが、試す人が後を絶たないそう。https://t.co/5nbLZTUerU

Two people dead, nobody in the driver seat. 6,000 lb experiments in half-baked, camera-only autonomy, capable of doing 0-60 in under 3 seconds, just roaming the streets. I love living in a SciFi dystopia. https://t.co/FTZkOWYfNG

The more I think about this, if Tesla has such brilliant engineering talent, why can’t they program disarming a car from operating if the driver’s seat is unoccupied. Hop in back? Car pulls over & stops. We have breathalyzers to prevent ignition by drunks. https://t.co/rmuQnqnu3u

Customers who pay $10k for Tesla autopilot are signing up to be test subjects for an unproven, potentially deadly technology. A functioning regulatory regime concerned with public safety would've done something about this by now.https://t.co/kq1vdxDlhC

Two men dead after Tesla crash in Spring, Texas. Officials told local reporters “There was a person in the passenger seat of the front of the car and in the rear passenger seat of the car.” Tesla’s cars are not autonomous, aka driverless or self driving. https://t.co/0kStLkoFgO

It burned because at least one of the batteries shorted.

It only takes one, and it took 32,000 gals of water to contain the fire.

Oh yeah, it was in "autonomous mode", no one was driving.https://t.co/lR6pLOClTZ

Nightmare crash: $TSLA on Autopilot “traveling at a high speed when it failed to negotiate a cul-de-sac turn, ran off the road and hit the tree.”
Owner *in the back seat* & passenger killed in fire which took 4 hrs to extinguish as it kept reigniting. https://t.co/C6aAXPdYAY

Tesla is screwed. Car was in self driving mode, malfunctioned and crashed into a tree at a high rate of speed. Car caught on fire and took firefighters 4 hours to put out. Lithium battery kept reigniting it. FD had to call Tesla to ask how to put it out.https://t.co/T9wxCHX5iX

Fact: The abuse of Autopilot which led to this crash (no one in the driver's seat) and the death of these two men was foreseeable and easily could have been better accounted for in the design of the system.

A loss all around which need not have happened.https://t.co/N38ppeAOLP

またTesla車で事故、しかも今回は運転席に誰もいなかったとか（助手席と後部に1人ずつ、いずれも事故で死亡）。

さらに木に突っ込んで炎上した車はバッテリのために消しても再点火してしまい、消火には4時間以上の時間と11万リットル以上の水が必要でした。https://t.co/bzomM7PJJT

FD used over *30K gallons* trying to put it out, b/c Tesla's battery kept reigniting. "Authorities tried to contact Tesla for advice on putting out the fire"

This is f'd up: "[Tesla] dissolved its press office & doesn’t usually respond to media inquiries" https://t.co/FLAVrdMDqJ

“Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on a Feb. 11 episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast: ‘I think Autopilot's getting good enough that you won't need to drive most of the time unless you really want to.’”

運転席に誰もいなかったということはハンドルにカウンターの重りをつけて自動運転モードにした上で運転手が後部座席に移動したんだろうな。(一定時間ハンドルから手を離すと自動運転モードは解除される仕様) https://t.co/sFf0X3GPC5

This Tesla crash is horrific (also crazy/stupid; no one was in the driver's seat). But the "it takes an entire swimming pool to extinguish a burning Tesla battery" problem seems potentially worse than any self-driving car issues https://t.co/hA1ScyDYB2 pic.twitter.com/3I2cLuFrcx
