      This is not the first motorcyclist murdered by a Tesla actually. The fucking things use cameras for the sElF dRiViNg mode. I know of one case where it didn't detect a motorcyclist stopped ahead and just plowed into it, killing them.

      I stay well the fuck away from these things, at least as best I can anyway

        I know very little about the technology involved in this sort of thing, but cameras?? Wouldn't lidar be a much better choice for spatial detection??

          I probably know less than you lol, but I do know that they choose not to use lidar because libertarian-approaching wants to only use cameras as one of his genius ideas.
