The only thing that comes to mind was him hanging out of the aircraft to try to see the problem with the landing gear & losing his grip.

Much as it pains me to say it, the pilot needs to be investigated, just to be sure.

Did someone forget to do something?

Anne Heche expected to ‘pull through’ after near-deadly car crash

Heche, 53, was reportedly intubated and remains in critical condition after she slammed her blue Mini Cooper into a garage in Los Angeles Friday, then backed up and took off before smashing into another house.

The car exploded after the second crash, and Heche — who was reportedly badly burned — was later seen flailing on a stretcher after first responders rescued her from the wrecked vehicle.

...Nearly 60 firefighters took a little more than an hour to put out the blaze and rescue Heche from the burned and wrecked car in the Mar Vista area of LA. The home she hit was destroyed.

A disheveled-looking Heche was pictured at the wheel of her car after the first crash, when bystanders were apparently trying to get her to stop driving. One photo showed a container with a red top on it that appeared to be a vodka bottle.

Much as it pains me to say it, the pilot needs to be investigated, just to be sure.

For sure.
Either way, it's one very weird incident.

It looks like 1 U.S. state is following Germany's lead.

California DMV accuses Tesla of making false claims about Autopilot and Full-Self Driving.

California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has accused Tesla of falsely advertising its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) features, as reported earlier by the Los Angeles Times (via CNBC). The agency filed two separate complaints with the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings on July 28th, alleging Tesla made “untrue or misleading” claims about its vehicles’ autonomous driving capabilities....

Considering the accidents that are being racked up by Tesla something needs to be done about these overly hyped systems that are causing deaths.

Cheers.

Better late than never

Given that here in Australia there are more laws giving cyclists more rights on rods, if they want to have those rights then they should also be held accountable to all the traffic laws all the other vehicles have to obey as well (while they're supposed to follow them, it's a very rare cyclist that does).

Although it doesn't help when confused drivers give way to cyclists, when the car actually has the right of way (but given the number of cyclists using a bike path or foot path that just ride across a road without so much as slowing down or checking for turning traffic i can understand why some people do so).
I'm amazed there aren't more car v cyclist/pedestrian crashes than there are. It's bad enough pedestrians wandering along playing with their phones with their air buds cranked up, but i'm seeing increasing numbers of cyclists doing the same thing.

Considering the accidents that are being racked up by Tesla something needs to be done about these overly hyped systems that are causing deaths.

All of the accidents i've looked at to date have been caused by the drivers not using the system according to the instructions in the owners manual- basically those modes are there to assist the driver, not replace them. [b[The driver is still the one responsible for driving the vehicle[/b] & must be ready to take back control if necessary. Having a sleep, playing games, watching a video, sitting in a seat other than the drivers seat all go against the requirements of using those features.

Like most other road crashes, there would be little if any Tesla crashes if idiots weren't allowed to drive them (although Teslas marketing claims for those features that can best be described as "embellished" doesn't help).

The word "autopilot" means to the general public crawl in the back seat and take a nap. If you need to read the manual first, then since Tesla doesn't have dealers, they should require just that before they hand over the keys.

Maybe playing a video on the car's screen fully instructing a person in it's use 1st before it can be driven away may help and if you cancel watching the video then those functions won't work.
