Tesla Robot Suffers Malfunctions and Attacks Engineer at Texas Factory, Leaving 'Trail of Blood' | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim H...
A robotic malfunction at Tesla’s Giga Texas factory resulted in a violent encounter where an engineer was attacked by one of the company’s robots, resulting in significant injuries and leaving a ‘trail of blood.’ According to the Daily Mail, while working ...
So we're all about clickbait here? This is a shit article from GP.
The worker forgot to disable the robot during the service phase. It didn't "attack" the worker".
You've got somewhat of a point, but why don't all these robots have sensors built into them just like table saws, where the moment it detects flesh (or anything similar - see demonstrations with hot dogs) they immediately shut down & emergency brake the blade.
Actually; HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK is it possible that these robot's DO NOT have the same sensors as a damn basic ass table saw?
Seems wreckless at best, malicious at worst.
I'm neither an engineer nor a workplace safety expert, but the first thing that springs to my mind is "what systems are in place in case of a situation like this?"
We need to human-proof stuff like this.
And, sure; sounds like the worker bears a touch of blame for forgetting to disable it, but again; you MUST PLAN on that sort of stuff.
That's basic human nature.
Otherwise, why even have safety features at all if you're going to not make them at least somewhat redundant?
