Tesla requested that the video be deleted because the test that the Tesla car bounces off the child is inaccurate



A test conducted by the Dawn Project, an organization that verifies the safety of software,

points out that Tesla's automatic driving car 'Model 3' risks jumping off a child with a height of about 77 cm. In response to this test, which questioned the safety of automatic driving, Tesla denounced through its legal counsel that it was ``misrepresenting Tesla's technology,'' and demanded that the campaign video based on the test be immediately deleted.

In a letter dated August 11, 2022, Tesla's Deputy General Counsel Dina Eskin released a letter stating, 'The alleged tests misrepresent Tesla's technology and are not widely accepted tests conducted by an independent agency. is ignoring the shared experiences of its customers,' it said in a statement. He demanded that the video of the 'FSD criticism campaign' created by cutting and pasting the test video be immediately deleted, and accused Tesla of improperly handling the driving support function 'Full Self-Driving (FSD)'.

The test in question was conducted by the Dawn Project on July 13, 2022 and published on August 9, 2022. In this test, 'Model 3' using the beta version of FSD was run toward a child-sized mannequin and it was verified whether FSD recognized the mannequin and stopped correctly.

As a result of the verification, the car that completely shifted to FSD decelerated as it headed for the mannequin, but did not stop completely, and reported that it collided with the mannequin at a speed of about 25 mph (about 40 km) in all three trials. It has been. Based on this result, the Dawn Project created a campaign video asking about the safety of FSD and sent it to TV and YouTube.




After the results and the campaign video were released, many people questioned the safety of the software due to concerns that the FSD would not correctly recognize children on the street. However, on the other hand, it was pointed out that ``there is a discrepancy between the speed seen in the video and the test results'', and that ``the accelerator pedal may be stepped on'' because there is no video showing the driver's feet.

Dan O'Dowd, who leads the Dawn Project, is also running for the Senate and has been reportedly running a campaign targeting Tesla for some time . O'Dowd pursues Tesla because ``like many other software people rely on in modern society, this technology is not secure enough and needs to be redesigned.'' It is said that it is the body. Mr. O'Dowd replied in an interview conducted by the Washington Post, 'I have no intention of deleting the campaign footage.'
