Darwinism
What game?
Was that a fault? Too much reliant on auto-pilot? What is the point of paying premier for auto-pilot functionality then?!!!

And how many human operated car crashes happened on this same day? A little perspective from media would go a long way in combating your FakeNews label. NBCNews CBSNews CNN MSNBC TODAYshow USATODAY GMA
So it’s still human error?
I’ll keep my 13mpg petrol gusler till the end of my time or till they pry it off my hands, thank you
Wow. How sad.
“Autopilot”.
Blame it on the man, not the car...
Suicide
Playing a game n his phone? Tesla & a deadly affair. Hopefully, limits of this new shiny object now seen fr wht it is.
This was almost two years ago. Quit hating on Tesla.
Game Over
It will be decades until AI can navigate roads,
Can't fix stupid.
Darwin Award material for sure.
Can we say stupid. Auto drive is not going to be the grand invention,
Liberals!
The self driving cars aren't gonna... drive... themselves.... DOH!
The car kept doing the same thing so I decided to play a game and not pay attention. Humans are just stupid.
Biar kan utuh dan beneran adanya seperti itu dan original keadaannya.
Not understanding How is he considered a distracted driver of the car promotes a feature that it will do the driving for you? Sounds more of a Tesla problem and lawsuit forthcoming.
Literally...play stupid games, win stupid prizes. darwinaward
People are dumb. Our government and Tesla knows this. People will use whatever you give them. Autonomous vehicles are a danger to the public. The industry is trying to put the blame on the driver... Like this Chinese guy driving asleep 70 MPH on the interstate.

🧐😮😮😮😟😟😟😟😔😔
I hate being a passenger in a car with a human driver. I don't like not being in control. There is NO DAMN way, I would ever own a Telsa.
DAMN!!
Where’s reset?
People are dumb.
TESLA IS STUPID
Playing a game during autopilot is as irresponsible as driving into a lake following your car’s gps word for word.
Well his insurance premiums are .... Oh, sorry. Never mind.
Oh nooo. What a tragedy. May he rest in perfect peace.
2018...
It's definitely not ready yet 🤔
Money can’t buy you happiness 🤕 SeeYaLatahBye 👊🏽
....he played the game dead or alive
Makes a change from wanking

🤣😅🤣😅😅🤣😅🤣😅
Dang, I'm too paranoid to even be on my phone while I walk, too bad for the guy, so sad for his family and friends...💔😔
DON’T USE YOUR PHONE AND DRIVE OR LET THE CAR DRIVE YOU!!
Why was his phone and a game more important than his life? So sad.
开好车不能和玩手机一起
His ultimate fine was death. Don’t play games while driving kids.
Well he got what he diserves ...
TheTalkCBS
This would also happen to me
He was too confident with Hus auto pilot.
Yes but did he complete the hidden level before the crash - that's the important question
Money can’t fix stupidity
CalvinSwine905 All the reason I stick with my 53 Buick.
ADELEBERINO A friend 'babysat' a Tesla. Most over-rated car EVER. It's all about looks, not function. It has to be driven EVERY DAY or it croaks. Horrible vehicle. And autopilot? NO THANK YOU. There are too many of these stories.
This is worst than drinking and driving
Hopefully, the fool didn't kill any innocent other? It's not good to lose life by stupidity but its far worse when stupidity takes the innocent life or lives of others.
Ardamora Yikes !
Just reckless. Obviously the driver wanted to play Russia roulette...

Idiot , he sort of got what he deserved really .
Moral of the story: Don’t be fuckin lazy and rely on tech too much. These kids have no idea how to persevere or grow being this dumb and lazy.
Just plain _ _ _ _!
...because he's stupid.
Maxildan ne fait pas ça Max, on tient à toi pour le récap 🚗🚗
Tesla Technology can go to hell! I’ll keep my CoalBurningTruck it’s safer!
Well wasn’t that the point of autopilot? We’re just the crash dummies for this new technology.
Anyone that counts on a computer to drive them around after experiencing the issue we all have with computers, hacking, virus, hard drive crash, glitches, shutting down, loss of connection to internet and bluetooth, failure to restart, etc. Is an idiot.
Lawsuit coming
Shocking 🙄 more of this to come...
Perhaps a pretty way to die?
Great car. Dumb human.
How fast was he going?!? Jeez, look at the front of that car
This happened back in 2018, and nothing like it has happened since. Contrast wit GM who refused to recall cars with IgnitionSwitchDefect despite it’s causing hundreds of fatal crashes. TeslaFUD
😭 sad
Told you !, too early for autopilot
When are people gonna learn cars can’t drive themselves this should be expected

OMG, God rest his soul.
March 2018 seriously lol, ya'll really digging up news from 2 years ago lmfao. I'm 100% sure their safety features and autopilot features have drastically improved since then
Must be a BernieBro
“Tetris is so much fun! I’ll never have to pay for my techno hubris—ahhhhhh! The flames, they erase my high score! Ahhh!”
klemx01 fuck autopilot unless I’m sucking you🥵
I hop one day never see this scene 😔
elonmusk they are trying to set you up man! Dont worry, we wont let the FakeNews put this on you! tesla ElonMusk BREAKING
Another candidate for “The Darwin Award.” 🙄
Oh shit and just when I was going to get one this has to happen fuck !!!
We need common sense something something control.
He had it coming. He carelessly put himself and the lives of others including myself at risk. I used to commute to work on that same stretch of highway. I just barely missed the traffic the day of his crash. Sympathy for his family, but I don’t really feel bad for him at all. 🤷🏼♀️
The insurance premiums are going to be astronomical.
HasanKutbi GLTSA az757za
On the plus side...he’ll never do that again!
So you can't be stupid even in a Tesla. Who knew?
I pity all the fools shelling their money on Teslas to look cool
Actual driving is easier Than sitting there trying to anticipate when it's gonna fuck up and your gonna die
Autopilot for cars seems like it is not ready for prime time yet.
How many dumbasses would do this if everyone had a Tesla?
Yeah, we're not ready for auto pilot.
This was crazy.
People are not ready for this tech
