Lawyers for the plaintiff argue that Tesla’s driver-assistance feature called Autopilot should have warned the driver and braked when his Model S sedan blew through flashing red lights, a stop sign and a T-intersection at nearly 70 miles an hour in the April 2019 crash. Tesla lays the blame solely on the driver, who was reaching for a dropped cell phone.
Fuck that driver indeed. 70 mph on a road with flashing reds and a stop sign? On a rural road near Key West? I can only assume “rural road” implies not US-1, and while I haven’t driven the area outside of US-1, I can’t imagine there’s too many roads with speed limits over 45.
The limit on US-1 itself is 45. On rural roads chances are it’s 25. And it says the driver didn’t just hit the girl and send her flying, but hit her vehicle which spun it hard enough so that HER car is what hit her and sent her flying!
Fuck that driver indeed, indeed.
