As the world continues to prepare for fully autonomous vehicles, Tesla, the leading company in this regard, came up with a striking video. Taking action to test and ‘ban’ unsafe software, Dawn Project carried out various tests by taking Tesla’s fully autonomous software on its radar.
Dawn Project measured whether Tesla vehicles detect children on the road in one of its tests. In the crash test, which was used by a child-sized mannequin, Tesla literally failed. In the test using Tesla’s Model 3 vehicle and the latest version of Full Self Driving software, the vehicle did not detect the child dummy in any way and passed over it at full speed.
Disturbing moments when Tesla failed the child test:
After these tests, Dawn Project called the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and argued that Tesla’s Full Self Driving system should be banned. He even started to broadcast an advertisement for this on US television. The advertisement film, which depicts that there are tens of thousands of Tesla vehicles on the roads and that this situation is dangerous, was as follows:
The test performed by Dawn Project spread rapidly on social media. So much so that the image of the test, which was shared only on Reddit, gathered more than 100 thousand likes and more than 5 thousand comments in just 13 hours. Many people criticized Tesla’s software in the comments on the video, which was among the most liked ones on Reddit.
