Why not just test it with a chicken bone or a hotdog?
This is like testing a Chinese bullet proof west by shooting your buddy wearing it.
They did. You just need to read beyond the headline to discover that.
The system has a feature that if you try to unsuccesfully close it several times it applies a little more pressure each attempt assuming there's a bag or something that's pushing the door from inside. This is quite unlikely to happen in a normal scenario.
Did he use a hotdog?
So did he use a hot dog? I still don't want to read the article.
That person who replied to you is a doofus
Then don't. You're free to remain as ignorant as you want.
Apparently they did, but after a failed close, it will for whatever reason close more forcefully the next time
What?!? How is that programmed?!? Someone did more work for less safety this is a typical tesla moment.
car.closeDoor();
if (car.getDoorStatus() != "closed") {
car.closeDoorHarder();
}
XD
I'm glad I never have to deal with safety stuff for my own dev work, but this decision truly goes beyond me.
I do safety, but for Software. And yes this decision is absolutely beyond me and i have no idea why anyone would think this is anywhere near acceptable. This sounds like grounds to sue.
