Round and round we go. The original story: https://electrek.co/2026/02/17/tesla-robotaxi-adds-5-more-cr...
Hmmmm.
This guy must have a huge short position
* a collision with a fixed object at 17 miles per hour
* a crash with a truck at four miles per hour
* two cases where Tesla vehicles backed into fixed objects at low speeds.
So in the 5 cases listed in that paragraph, 3 of them were when a Tesla hit a stationary object. Hitting a stationary object should be like the last thing I would think an autonomous vehicle would have trouble with, but if you got rid of lidar and radar because Elon had a fever dream, maybe it's not so unexpected.
The article would carry more weight if it didn’t throw in a bus hitting a stationary Tesla.
“The incidents included a collision with a fixed object at 17 miles per hour, a crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was stopped, a crash with a truck at four miles per hour, and two cases where Tesla vehicles backed into fixed objects at low speeds.”
