“@Rec1pr0city Active safety will continue to improve via over-the-air software updates. Since all Tesla cars are connected, we analyze each accident & do our best to minimize probability of recurrence.”

“@gagansachdev4 Best crash safety system is not crashing in the first place. Makes a world of difference for pedestrians & cyclists especially.”

“Reason for top rating is that active steering & braking safety features of Tesla Autopilot are turned on no cost for all cars https://t.co/HBKwAEbgc9 https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-model-3-can-survive-crash-avoid-one-too/”

“@DJSnM @RocketTenor @NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew For cargo missions, propulsive land landing should be no problem. Doesn’t have same safety criticality as crew.”

“@NASA @SpaceX @Space_Station @Commercial_Crew Dragon 2 was designed to land using thrusters, with parachutes as backup. Switched to chutes as primary, due to difficulty of proving safety, but Dragon can still do it. https://t.co/Mr7VFIQwWf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pm8ZY0XJI”

“@teslamodel3fan @Tesla Since it’s part of safety & security, all cars with AP2+ hardware will get it”

“@ElSchumi @FredericLambert @boringcompany Passive lateral safety is required by regulators & I think they’re right. Might be able to build this into the tunnel wall though. So long as the vehicle is prevented by physics from rolling or jackknifing, there is probably a good safety argument.”

“A variety of vehicles, like normal roads, from a small car to a densely seated bus. Must be seated & belted for high speed safety.”

“@DJSnM Pump is single string. Some landing systems are not redundant, as landing is considered ground safety critical, but not mission critical. Given this event, we will likely add a backup pump & lines.”

“After safety, our goal is to make a Tesla the most fun you could possibly have in a car”

“@mihk101 Agreed, top priority for Autopilot team. Being cautious for max safety.”

“@raxetul We can make it work from very far away. LoS is just for safety.”

“@officialjaden Yes. Will require tapping indicator to confirm at first. When safety looks good after 10M miles of driving or so, there will be an option to turn off confirm.”

“@cleantechnica Model 3 body design could def be less complex, but, yes, most of weight difference is due to higher safety vs other cars”

“The physics of how Tesla achieved best safety of any cars ever tested. Note, when vehicle weight is taken into account, order is more like X,S, then 3, but they are all very close.”

“@LanceUlanoff Key technical point is that the polar moment of inertia (concentration of mass around center) of a Tesla, to the extent of our knowledge, is better than any other production car. This positively affects safety, handling & driving feel. Extremely important metric.”

“Tesla piece on the physics of car safety coming soon for those interested in technical details”

“.@NHTSAgov will post final safety probability stats soon. Model 3 has a shot at being safest car ever tested.”

“Not having a big gas guzzler engine in front means there’s room for trunks in front & back, plus longer crumple zone for best safety of any midsize car”

“@Penenberg For sure! When doing US govt crash safety testing, the Model S roof was so strong, it broke their testing machine. https://t.co/m9Ae9mhRIC https://www.wired.com/2013/08/tesla-model-s-crash-test/”

“@DMC_Ryan @tkraenze @Tesla Critical autonomous safety features like emergency braking are standard, but convenience features like active cruise control are not”

“@raptorweb Sigh. This is crux of matter: can’t make system too annoying or people won’t use it, negatively affecting safety, but also can’t allow people to get too complacent or safety again suffers. Latest update should have a positive effect on latter issue especially.”

“@anandrajk @lexiheft @Tesla That issue is better in latest Autopilot software rolling out now & fully fixed in August update as part of our long-awaited Tesla Version 9. To date, Autopilot resources have rightly focused entirely on safety. With V9, we will begin to enable full self-driving features.”

“@chick_in_kiev @evepeyser @broderick Pravda was incorporated a year ago. Also, Tesla factory safety has improved every year & is now better than industry avg. Misleading articles refer to Tesla being worse than avg in 2015 when we were just figuring things out.”

“@mikeyfranklin @dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA More “Reveal” bs. Tesla is overseen by Cal/OSHA, most stringent labor safety org in US, & they’ve never found us to misrepresent. On other hand, Ford, Chrysler & GM (UAW) have repeatedly been found to fake safety numbers. Strangely, that info is missing from Reveal article …”

“@rrosenbl @ElectrekCo @FredericLambert @Tesla Have been meaning to get around to talking to him. Some of his criticisms are valid, but, on the higher body/chassis weight front, he wasn’t fully appreciating that we were going for much higher crash safety levels than other cars.”

“@dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA Nothing stopping Tesla team at our car plant from voting union. Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing? Our safety record is 2X better than when plant was UAW & everybody already gets healthcare.”

“@TalkTesla @Techmeme @timkhiggins According to NHTSA, there was an automotive fatality every 86M miles in 2017 (~40,000 deaths). Tesla was every 320M miles. It’s not possible to be zero, but probability of fatality is much lower in a Tesla. We will be reporting updated safety numbers after each quarter.”

“@TeslaMotorsClub Lot of respect for NTSB, but NHTSA regulates cars, not NTSB, which is an advisory body. Tesla releases critical crash data affecting public safety immediately & always will. To do otherwise would be unsafe.”

“@ElectrekCo I have just asked our team to slow down deliveries. It is clear that we are exceeding the local logistics capacity due to batch build and delivery. Customer happiness & safety matter more than a few extra cars this quarter.”

“Higher safety & environmental requirements & labor costs explain only a small part of the difference. True root cause imo is an exponential growth in bureaucracy & a self-serving private sector consultant industry earning a % on project cost, incenting them to maximize cost.”

“Not saying the next gen Roadster special upgrade package *will* definitely enable it to fly short hops, but maybe … Certainly possible. Just a question of safety. Rocket tech applied to a car opens up revolutionary possibilities.”

“@GigarothPack Not a bad idea. For sure, it makes sense to test AI for safety in some kind of open world / sandbox virtual world.”

“If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea. https://t.co/2z0tiid0lc”

“@douglasprest Can be set higher than that for highways, but limited to +5mph or +8km/h off highway (true avg drive speed) for pedestrian & cyclist safety”

“Winds aloft are unusually high (still within structural safety bounds). Worrying, but not a showstopper. https://t.co/epHQQvajOZ https://x.com/spacex/status/859000342985424896”

“@stephenstohn Yes, safety should improve significantly due to autonomy features, even if regs disallow no driver present”

“@BitterMercy Excellent safety in rollover (5 star+). That was what took so long to develop.”

“In addition, we reinforced the surrounding body structure for improved safety (was already 5 star in all categories).”

“EU regulators find no safety concerns with Autopilot https://t.co/zOykm4XeHP http://electrek.co/2016/07/14/european-authority-tesla-autopilot-after-beta-scare/”

“We don't mind taking the heat for customer safety. It is the right thing to do. From @RoadandTrack https://t.co/D181ui1jB0 http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/news/a29944/leave-tesla-alone/”

“Would seem to indicate that one or more people sought to create the false impression of a safety issue where none existed. Q is why?”

“NHTSA confirmed today that they found no safety concern with the Model S suspension and have no further need for data from us on this matter”

“@redletterdave Hardware in all cars. Autopilot safety features standard. Convenience features optional (like S and X).”

“@bonnienorman New Roadster battery should complete safety validation by end of July, so likely available in August”

“Funding research on artificial intelligence safety. It's all fun & games until someone loses an I http://t.co/t1aGnrTU21 http://futureoflife.org/misc/AI”

“World's top artificial intelligence developers sign open letter calling for AI safety research: http://t.co/ShWc8F7Kyq http://futureoflife.org/misc/open_letter”

“Model S limits torque if brake & accel simul pressed. Going to zero torque with brake press would be a safety hazard.”

“What makes this incredibly unjust is that the Model S to date has the best safety record of any car on the road (no injuries or deaths ever)”

“Model S achieves best safety rating of any car ever tested by US govt http://t.co/W1rZ5ceEVX http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-model-s-achieves-best-safety-rating-any-car-ever-tested”
