San Francisco, Aug 13 : After an investigation found that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology claimed to not detect a children-sized mannequins in the middle of the road, a few exaggerated Elon Musk fans are now soliciting parents to allow their children to test to disprove earlier claims.One of the Musk fan-club, Whole Mars Catalog, has tweeted asking kids to take the Tesla road test.
“Is there anybody in the Bay Area with a child who is willing to run in the front of my car while using Full Self-Driving beta to show off their skills? I’m committing to not running over them.(will not engage in the event of need) (this is an extremely serious demand),” Whole Mars Catalog tweeted.
“Will present FSD Beta as well as forward collision warning with an adult and with younger people to demonstrate the world that TSLAQ is a lying liar.TSLAQ is extremely afraid of being revealed as lying.
However, if we need to stop engaging, we will do the same,” the Musk fan group added.
According to a test of safety that was conducted by the Dawn Project, owned by Dan O’Dowd who is a self-described billionaire and the founder of Green Hills Software, the most recent version of Tesla FSD Beta software repeatedly hit a stationary child-sized model in its route.
A test driver from a professional discovered that the FSD software “failed to recognize the child’s size figure at the speed of an average of 25mph, and the vehicle then struck the model”, The Guardian reported this week.
The Tesla road test conducted on a small mannequins created an avalanche of reactions through social media.
Electrek stated that they had a genuine issue with the test.
“They did not activate Tesla’s FSD Beta in the test.
The car appears to come with FSD Beta, or at the very least FSD Beta visualisation, but it wasn’t active in the test footage” The report claims.
Musk said: “The Guardian swallows scam video hook sink or line!”
Whole Mars Catalog said that they’ve conducted similar tests in the past with no fatalities, injuries or near misses.
“College students walking and crawling, wearing chicken suits and crossing in the front of vehicles,” it claimed.
“Okay someone has volunteered, they just must convince their spouse,” it said.
The Musk fan group was attacked by Twitterati.
“This is probably the most insanity-inducing thing I’ve ever seen in quite a long time,”” an account on Twitter wrote.
“These Elon stans (obsessive fans) are a bit spooky and dangerous,” another posted.
