It’s not whether the girls father is at fault, read the article. She put a lot of effort into publicly defaming the company to try to get damages. While it seems like they should have had a better response, including sharing the evidence they had, there has to be a better way to get justice
All those things are perfectly reasonable if there actually was a brake failure. That car almost killed her family. If Tesla doesn't want to be called out don't put dangerous vehicles on the road.
Of the many issues Tesla has, this is not one of them. They have the telemetry for proof: I blame them for not being more forthcoming with it, and hopefully that would be mandatory in any trial.
However you’re applying Western standards, and many other in this thread talk about “saving face” and that liable is not contingent on the truth in China. She knew what the law is and decided to ignore it hoping that a Western style pr protest would work. Apparently she was wrong, and the result is consistent with what she should have expected.
If they provided the data and it was reviewed by a neutral third party that found them not to be at fault fair enough but aren't those cars supposed to have self driving features that would prevent something like this?
Yes, if it senses something in the way, it first beeps, then will apply brakes.
At least around here, you’d expect to sue, then Tesla would have to give evidence. I assume it’s same there
Instead the victim tried a public shaming without evidence. Here in the US, that’s not liable unless she knew it was false. Apparently there, damaging a corp’s reputation is liable, regardless of the truth (amusingly autocorrect keeps trying to spell “corp” as “corrupt”)
There does not need to be any kind of worldwide trend for one vehicle to have brake issues.
And as the other reply implied, I wouldn't trust a single fucking thing Tesla said about their telemetry data on the accident.
I did read the article. It says Tesla ~~would~~ would not release the log (initially). How do you prove that your electric car wasn't responding to brakes?
A good old mechanical car, it's as easy as taking it to mechanics but a high tech car? no so sure
For a mechanical car, the only option is looking for failure points. I don’t know if there is relevant telemetry or who could access it.
Teslas also have a mostly mechanical brake that any mechanic can check for failures. However that will be trumped by the sensor telemetry only Tesla has access to.
