40% fewer crashes than just driving into a wall

Feb 26, 2012


the NTSB was one of the organizations that was spun off from the Civil Aeronautics Board in the 60s. the other one was the FAA.

they investigate every airline accident in which the USA is even slightly involved. they're those people with warehouses full of carefully laid-out debris who reconstruct the exact chain of failure events down to the millisecond from the angle of paint scratches on a busted piece of a stabilizer.

what i'm saying is they are purely an advisory panel, don't really know what they're doing, and they certainly have no teeth, no siree, so the fact that they're investigating a car company when most of their business is airplanes and cargo ships, why, that's not an omen of anything at all

in case anyone likes reading actual documents, heres the stuff that tesla agreed to:
https://www.ntsb.gov/legal/Documents/NTSB_Investigation_Party_Form.pdf

the big thing they violated:

quote:

Prior to the NTSB’s adoption of the final report, only appropriate NTSB personnel are
authorized to publicly disclose investigative findings, and, even then, the release shall be
limited to verified factual information identified during the course of the investigation. In
addition, party participants or their respective organizations must refrain from providing
opinions or analysis of the accident outside of the participants in the investigation. Failure
to abide by these requirements may lead to removal of a party from the investigation.
Any questions on this policy may be directed to the NTSB’s IIC on an investigation, or to
the NTSB’s Public Affairs Office at 202-314-6100.

heres the letter that tells Tesla they're off the case:
https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Documents/HWY18FH011-TeslaPartyRemovalNotificationLetter-041218.pdf

heres the pages for the highway investigations (nothing official other than the letter):
https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/HWY18FH011.aspx


(heres the uber link if you're keeping track: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/HWY18FH010.aspx )

it’s to do with “the number of traffic incidents involving Tesla vehicles [since the introduction of autopilot].” i’m not sure that it differentiates between the severity of crashes. it is a fairly worthless statistic, considering the problem was with the sort of people that buy Teslas, and a 40% reduction of all incidents is not very convincing when the tech has such foundational problems

“a bunch of reckless nouveau riche tech fucks get in crashes 40% less” but the total number of incidents still dwarfs all other vehicles 🤔

maybe those people getting in accidents realized that Tesla wasn’t so great and went back to crashing Porches
