I've used it without issues but this sounds like the owner was attempting to use it beyond their field of vision.

People crash cars into other cars all the time at shopping centres with people behind the wheel. Don't know why publications don't cover that /sarcasm

"I wAs HacKed!" screamed the owner

It just confused the brake and accelerator, Cav here has to be due for one of those jobs by now

So , I may have missed something - from the article

" the Summon feature is currently in ‘beta’ mode – meaning it is not fully developed and may need more refinement to ensure it functions both safely and as originally intended.

“The whole concept of beta is that it’s still learning – Tesla’s still learning, right, and it’s using these scenarios to learn from that,” David Aylor, the IIHS’ manager of active safety testing, told NBC Washington."

So its okay for driverless Teslas to crash into things , because its in the beta phase.

I must just be getting old.

Same here I don't like being the guinea pig unless I'm involved in the development of the product

It's not that it is ok, it's that you should supervise it. Keep an eye on what it's doing and not blindly trust it.

Was following a Tesla along the hwy this morning and he tried to merge into the right lane and overtake a truck and it swerved hard back into the left lane. Then he tried again and it started swerving left and right really crazy then finally it straightened up and he was able to overtake the truck. Must have been some tech malfunction poor bloke looked like an idiot.

Yeah, might be a bug. It's so risk adverse (typically) that anything that spooks it makes it change. They were probably trying to use the auto lane change. I always keep my hands on the steering so if it tries to swerve back, I just continue the lane change.

It's not that it swerves left and right, the driver probably engaged the system and it sits to the left of the lane. When going past a truck, it moves to the right of the lane to give you more room.

It's really a great system as long as you know its limitations.

The ones with drivers are often not too bright from my experience lately

I've found people from Canberra aren't too bright either or is that an unnecessary generalisation?

[Sprintey]

A porked corr, as the late great Tony Greig might say.

Had a mate's girlfriend do this in the 1990s as she was putting a cassette in the cassette deck.

They aren't in the main and it's not an unnecessary generalisation

The one car to avoid on the roads nationally is the odd one you see with ACT plates, holy shit theyre doozies on the freeway network.

Followed by VIC plates outside of VIC, we're just like ACT drivers but there's millions of us

VIC drivers you can spot a mile away doing 10 under in the right lane because of their draconian policies on speeding at home.

It's the wild west in the ACT and the Mexicans **** people off always scared about getting fined but no way you will here unless you get a done by a van

Let's not take or make things personal, gents. New tech having problems will always be something for journo's to get excited about when writing. Not that there's anything wrong with journo's... I met a nice one, once.
