“A crash with a bus while the Tesla vehicle was stopped”

Hmmmm.

This guy must have a huge short position

And you must have a long position if you're going to cherry pick so egregiously. The other incidents from that same paragraph that you conveniently left out:

* 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.

		I get it, there’s been a ton of crashes and it’s BAD. The article would carry more weight if it didn’t throw in a bus hitting a stationary Tesla.

That phrasing gave me a chuckle as well. Nevertheless, the accidents per miles driven stats don't assign blame: Tesla is now "experiencing" a crash every 57,000 mi, vs the US statistical human driver average of 229,000 miles and Waymo's claimed ~500,000 mi per "incident".

Fascinating to cherry pick while trying to color an article as biased. Couldn’t even include an entire sentence?

“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.”
