2024-07-13 09:21:32 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

Several cases when drivers claimed the car “malfunctioned” and drove by itself were proven false in court. To this date there is no proven case of a Tesla driving by itself with no autopilot active and causing a crash like the driver in this incident suggests. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-wins-autopilot-trial-involving-fatal-crash-2023-10-31/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/31/business/tesla-autopilot-jury-decision.html https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/31/23940693/tesla-jury-autopilot-win-liable-micah-lee https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/23/a-tesla-owner-says-his-cars-self-driving-technology-failed-to-detect-a-moving-train-ahead-of-a-crash-caught-on-camera.html

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1811923640746906014

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
