The video shows a Tesla Model 3 crashing into a child-sized dummy at the end of the road, with no other obstacles. The test was conducted by a professional test driver who was tasked with driving at an average speed of 40 kmph between the two lines of cones.
In a blog post, the Dawn Project said, “Our Tesla Model 3 equipped with the latest version of full self-driving beta software (10.12. [यह] would be fatal.”
According to The Guardian, Dan O’Dowd, the founder of the advocacy group, also described FSD software as “deadly technology.” He said more than 100,000 Tesla drivers are already using the car’s full-self-driving mode on public roads, which put children in communities across the country at “great risk”.
Tesla, on the other hand, has yet to respond to the video, but it has repeatedly hit back at claims that its self-driving technology is too underdeveloped to guarantee the safety of car occupants or other road users. According to the outlet, earlier this month, Elon Musk even said that full self-driving has improved a lot, and he plans to make the software available to all owners by the end of the year. Hoping for those who request it.
