‘Tesla needs to…’: YouTuber faces backlash on social media after posting video of failed ‘crash test’ of his Model Y

  • Mark Rober tested Tesla's Autopilot against a Lexus with LiDAR, demonstrating that the Tesla failed to avoid obstacles like a child mannequin and a painted wall, while the Lexus passed all tests successfully.
  • Elon Musk has previously claimed that a Tesla on Autopilot is nearly ten times less likely to crash than an average car, a statement experts have labeled misleading.
  • The video illustrated significant shortcomings in Tesla's reliance solely on visual data, which can be easily fooled by fog, rain, or misleading images like a painted road.
  • Tesla's Autopilot has been linked to numerous injuries and fatalities, raising concerns about its safety and the risks of an upcoming 'unsupervised' full self-driving version.
