Tests revealed that Tesla's automatic driving technology would splash children, ``should be prohibited'' research team
It is clear that there is a danger that Tesla's system, which realizes automatic driving using the driving support function 'Full Self-Driving (FSD)', will not be able to recognize children standing on the road and will collide became. Based on the results, the research team argued, ``We should ban self-driving cars until we prove that they will not collide with children.''

The Dawn Project, an organization that verifies the dangers of software, uses Tesla 'Model 3' to upgrade the FSD version to the latest Beta 10.12.2 at the time of the survey and perform the test. After accelerating to 40 miles per hour (about 64 km), the test moved to fully automatic driving mode by releasing the accelerator and brake, and after going straight for 100 yards (about 91 m) as it was, it was placed on the road Height 30.5 inches It was to verify whether it hits a mannequin of (about 77 cm).
After shifting to FSD mode, the vehicle consistently decelerated to 25 miles per hour (about 40 km). However, it collided with the mannequin three times in three trials, and it accelerated as it was after the collision.

Dan O'Dowd, who heads the Dawn Project, called the results 'deeply disturbing.' 'Earon Musk says Tesla's fully automated driving software is'amazing', but it's not really the case.It's a deadly threat to all Americans,' he said. In response to the fact that the same FSD used in the test has already been used on public roads by more than 100,000 people, Mr. O'Dowd said, ``Tesla will not kill children at crosswalks. It shows the need to ban self-driving cars.'
