Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time::The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
Tesla has to get more punishment than NOTHING. This sucks
Your point being?
They are legally protected from the punishment of more than anything. Nothing will ever hit them with more than NOTHING.
Then the law has failed, which was my point from the start.
Why would you try to belittle me by repeating my opinion? That doesn’t make sense at all.
Because unless you plan on becoming a lobbyist, or politician, or activist nothing will change. Sitting around saying “They have to get in trouble in some manner” doesn’t do anything. If you want that to happen, since they are legally protected from what you want, go make a change.
I don’t live in the US, but the first step towards change is getting mad and raising awareness, this is the change I can make.
Closer to home, I full heartedly support the strike on Tesla Sweden for example.
How can I register that I don’t want leniency for someone who manslaughters me?
Like, I get it. We like in a society. Compassion. All that stuff. It doesn’t have to be life in prison. But it better be enough prison to ruin their life; just enough. Just enough that they always feel like those things that Ursula turns all the mermaids into in little mermaid. Like king triton looks like a little shitty barnicle instead of a big muscle daddy.
Oh, and no memoirs or books or anything about how they were the first guy to get postmortem denied parole because of my no pussy manslaughter sentence clause.
If you want it to just be enough to ruin their lifes then why don’t we just start executing them on the side of the road?
I’m having real trouble understanding people who advocate for a world like that. Tomorrow it might be your mom checking your text to bring some orange juice from the store aswell and then she hits a pedestrian and now we’re going to ruin her life for it because apparently she deserves it. This is the world you guys want to live in?
Or someone close to you could be killed by a driver using autopilot like this.
Want to elaborate? I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue for there.
Yeah, similar thoughts. People fuck up, make terrible mistakes through stupidity or bad luck or whatever and end up killing people and the best thing for society as a whole is rehabilitation and forgiveness.
That said, if it was one of my family, I’d be campaigning for the driver to have “my negligence killed two people” tattooed on their forehead so they never, ever get to forget the damage they have done
In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, “ruin their life” isn’t IMHO the right way to go. I’d be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they’d better be supporting the people who depend on me.
You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc
Same as it ever was Kill a Pedestrian, Pay a $500 Fine
Come join the war on cars. !fuckcars@lemmy.world
Lol… No one is going to join your little war when the see the brainless mindless posts that you lot like to circle jerk over.
I’d love to see a massive reduction in the dependence on cars, but you lot are doing more harm than good picking on non issues and making shit up.
Just because it’s a circlejerk doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate.
Leading preventable cause of death of children and main source of climate change emissions is worth being radical about.
And where are they “making shit up” or “picking on non-issues”?
That’s how we differ.
You’re focusing on being radical and using emotional buzz words (death of children), where as I’m actually interested in changing the status quo with regard to cars, and have been effective in doing so at a local level without making an ass of myself.
I share what I’ve achieved when practical and many good discussions come of it.
What have you done today?
Yell at the internet about ‘trucks’ that very few actually use and get a few pats in the back for it?
The difference is, fuck cars is an ineffective and damaging community when it comes to influencing positive change, and you think you’re part of the solution when in fact your part of the problem.
People are never going to take a community like that seriously while so critical and full of negativity.
Just want you to know that you’re not alone against the massive Lemmy hivemind downvoting you. The car hate is strong here but it’s very easy to block them and ignore them.
Another brilliant solution by America™
That’s all we’re worth, huh?
