This meme is a humorous commentary on the design of the Autopilot system in Tesla vehicles. The text in the image reads: "Designing the Autopilot program to shut off less than a second before impact so your company can deny it was the cause of the crash is simply epic." The meme is poking fun at the idea that a company would intentionally design a system to shut off in a way that would be difficult to blame for a crash, making it "epic" in a darkly humorous way.

jeff dirt aes Cleese n-8y designing the autopilot program to shut off less than a second before impact so your company can deny it was the cause of the impact is simply epic On Thursday, NHTSA said it had discovered in 16 separate instances when this occurred that Autopilot “aborted vehicle control less than one second prior to the first impact,” suggesting the driver was not prepared to assume full control over the vehicle. CEO Elon Musk has often claimed that accidents cannot be the fault of the company, as data it extracted invariably showed Autopilot was not active in the moment of the collision. While anything that might indicate the system was designed to shut off when it sensed an imminent accident might damage Tesla’s image, legally the company would be a difficult target. All of Tesla’s current autonomous features, including its vaunted Full Self- Driving tech, currently in beta testing, are deemed assistance systems in which the driver is liable at all times rather than the manufacturer. 1:09 PM - Jun 10, 2022 - Twitter Web App
