Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road (futurism.com)

In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

I have no clue what you're trying to say, but the significant amount of outrage a day or two later that I suddenly saw explode on Twitter was mind boggling to me. Couldn't tell if it was bots or morons but either way, people are big mad about the video.

If you get any strong emotions on material shit when someone makes a video...you have 0 of my respect. Period.

Saw a guy smash a Stradivarius on video once. definitely had strong emotions on that one.

Really torn up about not having your respect tho...

I think you could argue that that's not just material stuff though. That's historical and significant culturally.

Idk if the video has reason to embue strong emotions then it's fair
