Dawn Project Demo: Tesla FSD Runs Over Child Dummy, Reigniting Safety Debate 

With The Dawn Project’s recent demonstration of a Tesla Model Y failing to stop for a child dummy, the debate surrounding FSD’s safety is reignited. Is this a critical flaw revealing fundamental issues with Tesla’s autonomous driving approach, or simply a staged scenario designed to generate negative press? How much responsibility rests on Tesla to ensure their technology is foolproof, and at what point does the onus shift to the driver? Furthermore, does Tesla’s reliance on cameras and software over LiDAR, like Waymo, represent a genuine technological advantage or a cost-cutting measure that compromises safety? Considering Musk’s ambitious robotaxi plans, are we rushing towards an autonomous future before the technology is truly ready? What safeguards, if any, should be implemented before widespread deployment of self-driving vehicles? Is The Dawn Project's founder, Dan O'Dowd, a genuine safety advocate or a Tesla antagonist with an agenda? Let’s discuss the implications of this incident and the future of autonomous driving. Where do you stand on the safety of Tesla's FSD?
