Why aren’t Tesla’s trucks operating with at least AI assistance? If not FSD?
Unions?
FSD/AI should be used on all trucks.
Humans cause too much carnage on our roads.
It makes this even more tragic because Tesla has FSD which would have prevented this.
As an investor I want the brand to completely push autonomy in all of its vehicles.
🚨 $TSLA stock took a sharp hit during Thursday’s trading session, overshadowing the company's blowout delivery numbers, after news broke that a Tesla Semi was involved in its first-ever fatal crash on U.S. Route 50 in Nevada 😳
The tragic collision happened when the truck driver reportedly fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into two passenger cars waiting at a red light. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, while a third victim was airlifted to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The incident has sparked serious questions about the truck’s safety systems, especially its automatic emergency braking (AEB). Although some early reports claimed it was completely unknown whether the Semi even had AEB, Tesla's website explicitly states that active safety features come standard, and the trucks are indeed built with the necessary hardware.
The real confusion stems from a lack of transparency rather than a lack of technology. Since Tesla has never released a detailed safety spec sheet for the production Semi, independent experts can't verify the exact limits of the AEB system. This leaves investigators and the public in the dark about whether the system was active and why it ultimately failed to prevent this tragedy.
