Passenger in self-driving car dies while watching Harry Potter

finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-driver-killed-crash-while-012228445.html

>The first person to die in a U.S. crash involving a car in self-driving mode was the tech-savvy 40-year-old owner of a Tesla Model S who nicknamed his car "Tessy" and praised its sophisticated "Autopilot" system.

>Joshua D. Brown, of Canton, Ohio, died in the May 7 crash in Williston, Florida, when his car's cameras failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer rig from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically activate its brakes, according to government records and a Tesla statement issued Thursday.

>Frank Baressi, 62, the driver of the tractor-trailer and owner of Okemah Express LLC, said the Tesla driver was "watching Harry Potter on the TV screen" and driving so quickly that "he went so fast through my trailer I didn't see him."

>"It was still playing when he died and snapped a telephone pole a quarter mile down the road," Baressi said in an in an interview from his home in Palm Harbor, Florida. He acknowledged he couldn't see the movie, only heard it.

Hopefully it was Goblet of Fire.

hmm

>yes yes well done slytherin well done
>howev

These things are already on the the road? Fuck that's terrifying

This is what you get for turning cars into appliances

I feel like it's illegal unless you have full control available at all times

YES YES WELL DONE TESLA WELL DONE INDEED

HOWEVER

WE

>yes yes goyim, driving a car is too hard, we'll drive the car for you while you eat more mcdonalds and watch expensive movies

People who want self driving cars are lazy cucks.

He got what he deserved, what a waste

>40 yo
>watching HP movies

>"I guess that's one Harry Potter trailer he'll never forget", said Baressi as he chuckled to himself. "Fucking faggot"

>who nicknamed his car "Tessy"
Seriously?

I'm going to wait for an Edison.

Could tesla sue jk Rollins for this ?

Now she's called Messy.

It's fucking absurd. This kind of comfort and ease isn't good for us.

You do have full control at all times, it's no different than cruise control.
The autopilot is not infallible, you are supposed to be paying attention while using it.

>tfw no Chloe Camilla gf to give retard orgasms

Only in America

I don't drive but I'm rich as fuck so I can't wait to get a car that will drive itself. I'm gonna get a big one and sleep in it and have it drive me to a different place everyday. Get some bitches pregnant and then I'm on the road again.

People who DON'T want self driving cars are just retarded

Do you still use candles to light your house you fucking luddite

>driving a car is too hard
It is, considering people get into car accidents all the time for stupid shit.

Yes they do. People don't want to drive in traffic.

What's the point of it then if I'm supposed to be paying attention?

I'm going to be backseat driving myself?

What's the number for 911?

inb4 people playing vr driving simulator games while an actual automated car drives them around

this is why we should've never invented the wheel

underrated

What movie would Sup Forums die watching in a self driving car?

Drive.

Furious 7

Speed Racer.

I'd gladly die a second before Speed crosses the finishing line in the final race.

Speed

Cloud Atlas

In soft regions are born soft men

2 fast 2 furious

Something with Paul Walker or Jayne Mansfield in it.

Initial D

No, but I don't watch Harry Potter when I should be driving my car either.

>tech-savvy
Apparently not. Jesus.

I was pretty hard when I explored your mother's regions last night bro.

Why the hell is a negroidaloid watching Harry Potter?

>40-year-old watching Harry Potter
>nicknaming his fucking car
>so confident in technology that's literally in the alpha phase that he just trusts it with his life
>"Tech-savvy" aka a fan of Apple products
I don't think anything of value was lost here except maybe the car, and this will also push self-driving cars WAY back in terms of development because now people will be even more wary of them, which is actually good because they're supposed to be an aid not a fucking replacement for all responsibility on the road.

The future is looking real bright, isn't it goy--I mean, guys?

>tech-savy
>trusts first generation bare bones autopilot enough to watch a movie while driving

They were originally planning for the cars to not even have steering wheels at the full self-driving phase of development so maybe that's off the table now.

DUDE RACISM LMAO

You know the context for this picture is that everyone was told to put on the CuckVR goggles and then after they did that Zuckerjew appeared from nowhere and was going to surprise everyone by coming up on stage. He's smirking because he's going to surprise everyone, not just because he's evil.

This post is depressing.

We really need to stop these tech creeps.

By this logic using a taser on myself is """tech-savvy"""

That girl is so retarded its hilarious

dude either the car drives itself properly or it doesn't

if I have to stare at the road and be alert at all times because it might randomly plow into a truck then I might as well be driving

DUDE ABLEISM LMAO

Well, you're not using your arms. You can just lean back with your foot ready to hit the gas

I'd trust a computer over a woman driver any day

The real benefit of self driving cars is it could lead to self driving semis which would drastically reduce the cost of goods.

The Anvil Collector (1935)

The software/hardware is not sophisticated enough, and you are liable for your vehicle.

But as to what you get out of it, well you can do stupid shit like text on your phone or jerk off without crashing or swerving out of your lane 99.9% of the time.

Why would they lower the price just because transportation is easier?
They'd charge the same (or even increase it) and make even more profit.

Driving a car is a god-given right and self driving automobiles threatens the sanctity of NASCAR.

t. jew

You don't have to pay truckers to drive it everywhere and the shipping will never stop because the cars don't need sleep.

Why they increase prices?

>company saves money on shipping
>uses that to undercut competitors and get an edge

checked & kek

Ok, I didn't think of that angle. It wouldn't go down a ton, but the price would definitely settle lower

not everything that can be done should be done. there are ways to advance with technology that don't turn us into useless, information-addicted blobs

That's retarded

Glad I didn't buy Tesla stock.

Thanks /biz/.

>Not wanting to drive your own car

This is almost as bad as getting another man to mow your lawn.

Crash

You mow your own lawn?

>tfw these self driving vehicles are going to make being a truck driver an obsolete job so there will be no more truck drivers and truck stops so OP's mom is going to have to find somewhere else to prostitute herself for meth

>Mowing your own lawn

Why do you want Mexicans to starve and die user?

But seriously fuck off you poor piece of shit before I huck a rock at you.

The car still needs a mechanic

Self driving cars don't have to be perfect, just better then humans

Then you'd have shit like this happening only its a semi barreling over your grandma in her sentra.

If humanity has any hope left at all then the free market will say "fuck that."

Nobody was seriously asking for self-driving cars to begin with. Some programmer with autism just thought it would be neat to do, and now sociopath businessmen are trying to see if it can be the latest billion dollar tech gimmick that they spoonfeed to the masses

This
Literally guaranteed more safe because machines don't get drunk, fall asleep, or fuck up driving

>40 year old
>watching Harry Potter in his car

It's impossible dude.
Every big company is working on this shit. AI, VR, it's all coming soon, whether you like it or not. Billions of dollars are going into it. People want this shit.

Not me, though. I can't wear a VR visor without throwing up.

The kids who watched the first movie have grown up, lad.

Jews are literally the worst

He would've been 25 when it came out though

Yeah the free market totally ignores solutions that saves companies trillions of dollars.
The only way you could stop self driving cars is to legislate against them, which would bring on the rise of china another 10 years earlier.

What is this new dank meme?

If you're 40 years old now, you where a young adult when the first movie came out.

By then everyone will have a basic income to buy their own meth with! We might even have 3D printers to print our own meth.

Zombieland

>tfw gonna 3D print me a gf

The image is only depressing because you're looking at them shunning reality IN PUBLIC.

In reality (kek), that's not where this product is applicable. You won't see the average person with a visor strapped to his face like this while he's out and about IRL. Its being hyped to hell, but VR is really just the next progression of a fucking computer monitor/TV.
