So you guys dont care about the lives being destroyed by Teslas as long as you can make money?


Out of control Teslas are destroying lives.
This particular accident screams that this Tesla was experiencing electrical glitching. Here is a little more detail on that.
When there is induced currents flowing into the APP sensors ground wire, it can fail to work properly sending incorrect information to the ECU. This is where sudden acceleration occurs and brakes fail. However, in situations like these, data recorder only records what the car does. It is important to understand that Tesla EDR data does not necessarily reflect what the driver tells the car to do when these induced currents occur as it records only commands that it actually receives. This is the danger of electromagnetic induced currents in the wiring of any vehicle, but especially EVs as they seem more susceptible.

Well, as it turns out, there was signs of electrical glitching in this Tesla as it suddenly sped toward the wall.

Choi Woan-jong, who had eked out a living by driving drunk people home in their own cars, says the Model X sped out of control on its own and that the brakes failed in the December 2020 accident.

Choi, 61, is now unable to find work as an independent driver, or what is known in Korea as a "replacement driver".

In an upscale Seoul neighbourhood two years ago, a white Tesla Model X smashed into a parking lot wall. The fiery crash killed a prominent lawyer - a close friend of South Korea's president.
