That's what happens when you remove the ultrasonic sensor and base your collision detection on camera alone. "Meh, it's clear enough..."

It actually looks like his jump was stifled somehow, like maybe an Achilles tendon rupture... He barely made it off the ground.

I would guess the jumper assumed the driver would keep a steady speed, but driver was stopping for something in the road behind the jumper

Ivalicenyan
Unless the impact instantly killed the object in the bubble, the silhouette of a man is still. There's no arms or legs moving in the tree
CelestialSea
With the sudden acceleration, even if the bubble protected him from direct harm, he'd still have a serious concussion and probably whiplash.

Very fake, if you put a 100 plus pound object in front of a car at that speed both the car and the object are going to have a bad time.

You are correct. It is incredibly unsafe driving in a Tesla. Those things are cheaply made death traps
TacoPoweredHelicopter
My family is alive because my father's Tesla avoided the head on collision of a texting driver. Rather the automation the people.
People are the worst. The faster we can remove them the better.
Yeah the data doesn’t back up your anecdotal story fanboy.
Show me? Also it's only going to get better and people are going to stay awful.
Mullensandtheoctopus
I'm pretty sure the bubble is empty?
UnrealDreamer
If the bubble were empty there wouldn’t be enough mass to fly like that Air resistance would stop it immediately. Also it’s fake.
Nope.
You can clearly see a human-shaped figure in it. The video is fake though. No way a human weight would sit in those branches like that.
RogueEnthusiast
Yould be surprised, if the weight was evenly distributed within the bubble and again by branches across the surface area of the bubble.
Drunkenhalfling
It's real, and with a dummy
Whether it's a practical or digital effect it's still fake.
What is fake about it, the clip is real. They don't claim there's a real person in there...

Mostly unsafe, starting with bypassing the collision sensors
VodkaReindeer
"What could go wrong with that?" -Uber, definitely
oldpotatoes
Tesla fails at detecting pedestrians enough they probably didn't have to bypass
Really, so they fail..... My vw up!...... Detects and brakes for those, and big doggos.... Way to go musk
The hate for musk (rightfully he sucks) trasmits to a hate for Tesla's, but they are still pretty good cars.(when you realize all cars suck)
I dislike electric cars in general
Jantessa
From my minor experience in doing collision avoidance with small robots, likely the car failed to recognize that w/out tampering needed lol
It fails to recognize cars stopped on freeways when it's working properly. I'm convinced it saw nothing b/c the bubble is kinda transparent
My primary concern was not for expensive-to-repair front end damage to the Tesla.
I know, but I assume the person in the ball is on board with doing dumb shit

This really isn't true at all. Teslas continue to prove way safer than most other cars. You are experiencing confirmation bias.

You only think that because every time one does, it makes the news. Mile/mile, hybrids catch fire the most, followed by ICE, then EVs.
pudaheh
Just imagine if something as poorly made as a Tesla was carrying around 70l of fuel. *BOOM*
flarflarf
my guy, they catch on fire at a higher rate than Pintos did.
or, to be more precise, more people die in tesla fires, which i think is the stat people care about
Look up the statistics and evs (the bulk of the sample data of which are teslas) caught fire the least of all vehicles. I've heard that >>
RJWaters
They make the news because theyre nearly impossible to put out, and burn longer.
also because people die in tesla fires at a higher rate than they did in the Ford fucking Pinto
Thats different than suggesting "tend to catch fire pretty often" nor advising folks avoid them.
No, they make the news cuz it's easy fearmongering that plays on people's ignorance.

BossVarriack
You know Americans only average 11 pounds more than Brits right? And the average for Americans is below 200 pounds? Not by much but still
11 is much considered it's in average - take away all the kids, grannies, fit dudes and girls and the rest has easily 30 more
IGotsDemGoodies

MeanMisterClean
Apparently the AVERAGE for a man in the US is 199.8. At my fattest/least fit I was 182 at 6'1'' and looking back I was pretty lardy. Yeesh.
Thelordschips47
Body type matters too. In Highschool I was 185lbs and 5'10" and only had 9% body fat. I did a lot of weight lifting
Murmull
weight is irrelevant anyway, if you are 6'4 weighing 200 pounds is very normal. body size and shape varies greatly from country to country.
This is very true as well. Though I was comparing Britts and Americans whose height averages are pretty close
