Paywalled article. But there's no doubt that automated driving systems are causing, and will continue to cause accidents. Not just Teslas. Until V2X is ready, it's a technology I'd like to see legislated off public roads.

Maybe he thought he had a yoke and pulled back to see if the car would take off.The wheels on the bus keep falling off, falling off, falling off. Guess he should've got a yoke.
Tesla issues recall after N.J. driver’s steering wheel fell off while driving

Who are they copying? Who is putting out an all solid estate battery? Why do you think they are not serious.
Solid state batteries will be here within 10 years so the timeline checks out. Makes sense they hold out for this. If they don’t adapt they will be out of business.
Who knows what's gonna happen in the future. Toyota might well wind up having been smarter than the rest.
They're not copying anyone, nor are they innovating on their own. Their market share in Europe and China is plummeting because of a lack of EV offerings. That's the problem and it looks like their shareholders are outraged.

Funny Tesla fan club calling out others for making pie in the sky proclamations.
Lol....ok. Tesla makes EVs. So you believe Toyota is serious about EVs? Surely you don't, but feel compelled to defend them. Odd.
They got by with a stellar reputation for reliability for decades. Always amazed me how they could sell so many cars that weren't the least expensive, weren't attractive, weren't out-performing others in any way except that they were reliable for many years.
When typical readers stop swarming the lowest common denominator like moths to light?"Tesla killer" makes for good clickbait, but they're not killing anyone. Don't bother opening. When will these articles stop?

I’m defending them? Literally responding to Tesla fan club getting worked up by the announcement. The irony.
He's not going to understand the distinction. When people fetishsize something (like a car brand), they often subconsciously project similar thought/behavior onto others to try and resolve the inner conflict caused by knowing that what they're doing is not quite normal.
Worked up? Hardly. Comic relief
Hey dipshit, there's one guy on here who's been correct more than anyone else in predicting how EV disruption will shake out... ME. You and @jtung230 are the tools obsessed with Tesla. I'm talking about Toyota and you 2 donkeys keep dragging Tesla into the conversation.
We get it. No one can do EVs but Tesla. They are the best. Other car makers are jokes. It took Tesla no time at all to mass produce their product. The top 5 selling cars are Toyotas. They are in deep crap.
No disrespect to sedan owners, but not being in the market for them, I don’t much notice sedans in general, especially 15 year old ones. I’m just going off what Consumer reports and some of the other ratings organizations have said over the years. Toyotas always seem to do well on those, although I’m not so sure they’re looking at 15 year old cars for those rankings.
Thanks for making my point so emphatically. You’re a smart enough guy but you are so wrapped up in your adoration of a brand that you can’t see how it colors everything you post in this thread.
Succinctly put.
Back in the day, Toyota had some great cars. I mean, the original Supra still has a cult following.
After watching the recent interview with Jim Farley I am not understanding how you are justifying your positions. He was amazing candid about how far behind the OEM's are from Tesla.
Of course they have an advantage. Tesla has been working on EVs for a long time compared to the others. My position wasn’t about Tesla at all. It was about Toyota. It became Tesla because all the Tesla fan club thinks no one else can do EVs.
How many people are driving 600 miles in a short period of time. Most drive less than 40 miles a day.
