Meet the Hacker Who Helped Score a $243 Million Verdict Against Tesla

"in mid-2023, Tesla introduced stricter security protocols, which delete the copy of the data in the circuit board."

Such a scummy ass company. 59 people dead from “autopilot.”

Tesla's lawyers should be disbarred for perjury.

> According to Poses and Boumel, the system only shut down once the crash was unavoidable. This is the same thing that happened in the wild coyote test. People were accusing Mark Rober for disabling it but video clearly shows he did nothing and split second before hitting the fake wall FSD turns off. I already had the suspicion but now I'm sure they have it programmed like this on purpose. When FSD detects crash is unavoidableit turns off so they can claim FSD/Autopilot was off.

Anyone know how many dead from waymo or other fsd?

yes. AEB disables AP when triggered on AP. (not just AEB, but AEB is one of the more visible "oh no we are going to crash now" moments)

That’s what the astronomical punitive damages are for, since the jury can’t consider perjury.

Tesla just gave Elmo like 50 billion dollars worth of stock so I'm not sure how ~200 million is "astronomical" to them, but good job jury.

Imagine if Boeing deleted the black box data upon impact.

FSD is a Tesla-only term, there's no "other fsd".

0 Killed a dog tho

That would be Concerning.

strawman diversion

Tesla is a criminal enterprise.

>Tesla maintains that McGee was a reckless driver. At one point on his drive that day, he was going 92 mph and doing things like "pressing the accelerator to override the Model S’s cruise control," as the company writes in post-trial motion to appeal. Pathetic. These lawyers know that one offense does not relate to the other.

Looking into it.

Thank you for calling it out. It ain't much, but it's an honest days work.

That was my big take away from the article as well. Glad to see it is the highest rated comment. Unreal

Stop giving them ideas

Joking aside, all the aircraft black box systems seem a little held back by the manufacturers. They do the absolute minimum required by decades old laws that rely on mag tape and 30 minute recording times. Pilots having to remember to pull breakers to stop the CVR being overwritten is ridiculous when solid state based audio could hold month's worth of audio. I guess the big difference is Boeing/Airbus actually have real fear of NTSB, where as Tesla think NHTSA compliance is optional.
