The article is a little ehh. Nothing really concrete in there. Just a bunch of speculation. The "recall" was a software update. If the crash data was conclusive that the system was at fault and not the fault of the driver then it would probably lead to a decent lawsuit victory or settlement. In general, considering the large increase in Tesla vehicles on the road, there should be a proportional increase in incidents. There are 46k car fatalities per year, so I don't know if 17 is large or not. There are seatbelt failures, airbag failures, and other type of failures in vehicles components or systems, so again, I don't know if a semi-autonomous system is a problem from these articles, even if they are slanted to sound like they are problems. ![]()

Musk has said multiple times, sometimes ad nauseam, that they are laying out a template for other companies to follow, with the benefit, I might add, that those companies can take advantage and leapfrogging past the milestones Tesla has needed to take during its growth. Toyota seems to be doing just that, and I don't doubt that they have the resources and expertise to make compelling and competitive BEVs. I think they are right to maintain a position still producing ICE-dominant hybrids and EV-dominant plug-in hybrids, as those will still be around for decades.

toyota had been pushing/backing hydrogen until about a 1-2 years ago. there's been some previous articles on how it's aggravated stock holders because they weren't going in the same direction as the rest of the industry, or had a clear-cut-and-published plan to innovate like the rest of the industry kept parroting. but like dadhawk said, toyota always plays the long game. there's numerous examples where toyota will come in behind everyone else 'innovating', take the same idea, learn from others mistakes, and run away with the category. that's really what is unacceptable in todays era, but they get points for consistency.

I say this as a space exploration enthusiast, who witnessed the launch of Apollo 16 as a wee tot, and also as an electric vehicle enthusiast, who developed electric vehicles that have been used on every continent but Antarctica:
Elon Musk is NOT a reliable source of information. Elon Musk is NOT a founder of Tesla. Elon Musk is a grifter. |

-There are 43-46k car fatalities each year with estimates of 278 million private and commercial vehicles on the road, so say low at 40k deaths for a high of 300 million cars. That is 0.013% of vehicles on the road experience a fatal crash. -There are 2 million plus Tesla vehicles on the road in the US, but let's say it is just 1 million to be conservative, and there were 11 fatal accidents in a year that involved Autopilot, which is 0.0011% of Teslas were in an Autopilot fatal crash or 10x less fatalities than the national average. It would appear that just from these numbers that Autopilot is safer than the national average by a factor of ten, but of course, Autopilot is engaged typically at different times than mixed driving scenarios like we have discussed before on this program, so it is hard to draw apples to apples comparisons. But we do know that car fatalities happen the most on highways, which suggests that actually the numbers are even more in the favor of Autopilot being safer because the true percentage of vehicles fatalities from normal cars is actually even higher when just looking at highway fatality rates. While Tesla's Autopilot is by no means perfect, it seems to be much safer than a car not using Autopilot. Quote:

You're assuming all Teslas use Autopilot. To compare the fatal accident rate, you have to add all non-Autopilot related deaths in Tesla vehicules. The other solution would be comparing the fatal injury rate on a per-mile basis, but we're missing the AP-travelled miles. Another interesting point is that the accident rate per vehicle in the US is almost twice that of France (0.0076%). Probably a combination of harsher inspections, driving education, lower driven miles and better infrastructure. |

Heck they have a new "bipolar" NiMH battery in the second gen Aqua/Prius C that no one ever talks about. Its a more compact and higher density NiMH battery pack. Im not sure how it compares to an equivalent LiON battery but its something that isnt really used in a commercial vehicle application. And they also road tested SSD batteries during the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 with their LQ concept car. I hardly see any news on that. Plus alot of their technology "road tests" seem to happen only in Japan. Like their "Lexus Teammate" autonomous driving system. I dont think thats available anywhere outside of Japan in select areas.... If you were to look at Toyota's timelines alot of it seems to coincide with them making an EV pivot (or prepared to make a pivot) somewhere in the 2030 timeframe....Most of their newly redesigned models are rolling out now and into 2024 which gives the NEXT generation after that time to be ready for EV utilization or whatever in 2030ish. I dont know if that has always been their plan but they dont seem to NEED to make an EV push right now just to appease the court of public opinion (and alot of EV fanboys are quite toxic and delusional to reality and smug about their choices) Toyota plays the long game (as anyone should know by now) and it seems like they have just set themselves up to be able to make a pivot whenever one tech starts pulling away from others. Anyone thinking they're going under in 2030 is completely delusional. |

In comparison, during the same time GM reported 3 incidents (none fatal) with the 36,000 SuperCruise deployed units. Of those none of the 3 were determined to be the fault of SuperCruise.
