    "the car was incapable of transmitting log data to our servers, which has prevented us from reviewing the vehicle’s data from the accident"

    They usually defend themselves with the logs. How mysterious they weren't available here.

    Does this happen to other cars with auto pilot? I am just curious what the fixation with Tesla is. I see a seemingly unending stream of articles on everything Tesla does, but I have not seen a single article about the other car manufacturers having similar issues. Do other car manufacturers not have similar auto pilot features? And if they do, do they just not have accidents?

    People just don't seem to understand the distance between the human mind and AI... they are still miles apart.

    Why does Tesla allow Autopilot to be engaged at speeds above the limit? (I'm assuming that 80MPH is not legal there.)
