Current Federal regulation do not allow active display in place of mirror as of August 28 2019. So Kia if they are doing so might be skirting that Feds. Now I think it is a silly regulation, reminded every time I get in the truck, look at the rear view mirror, then put it in reverse. But night time driving it might not be optimal, the headlights behind you would probab;ly wash out the display, by overloading the CCD. |

Wait until the NTSB report is available and stop speculating with zero facts. Well the NTSB can speculate all it wants but no body in the drivers seat pretty much explains the crash. See, that's you speculating that there was no body in the drivers seat, based on unreliable media reports. IIRC that was what the fireman said when being interviewed at the scene. We got a lot of "when it happened" on local media. NTSB doesn't speculate. They exhaustively analyze all the available evidence, including the black-box, scene and mechanical remains and provide recommendations for how to avoid future such accidents based on a scientifically determined cause. That's why it takes _months_. |

Actually 40 years ago one of our car salesmen rolled a new Toronado 1 mile from the dealership. It burned after he got out, the steering wheel was not a normal shape. The deformation of a steering wheel caused by heat would not be the same deformation as caused by impact. We don't know what type of deformation Moravy was referring to. For all we know, once the investigation is complete, we may hear that the steering wheel was deformed in 2 different manners. There could be deformation by impact with the driver and then by heat once the fire started. Deform a plastic cup with a hammer. Now deform a plastic cup with a heat gun. I'll bet that the difference will be very clear even to those untrained in forensic investigations. Now take a third plastic cup and beat it with hammer before you heat it up. I'll bet that it will look different than the other two. That's the type of detail the investigators will (hopefully) be looking for. e.g. a melted steering wheel that is also cracked/bent. No one is denying that heat could have deformed the steering wheel in the Tesla. However, to note the simple fact that heat can deform a steering wheel and from that conclude that there was no one in the driver's seat isn't valid. It leaves out other possible ways that the steering could have been deformed that might also explain the lack of a body in the driver's seat. |

"I didn't mean to run over that kid on the bike but the movie I was watching had a really neat scene I didn't want to miss" My car has the surround view with four cameras. Cuts out at 12 mph. |

I don't see what's gained by just substituting a camera/display for a mirror. It would drive me crazy, and probably everyone else over 40. The mirror's image plane would be at infinity, as would the image of the oncoming traffc. The camera/display's image plane would be at the mirror so would take a major refocus. Refocusing is slow, or impossible, for us old farts. |

On my Hondas, the weight range to turn on the "Passenger Air Bag Off" light is somewhere 0 up to 65 lbs.

If this had happened on NCIS or CSI, there would have been a multiple perfectly situated security cameras to determine where the occupants were sitting. ;-) Or they'd build a scale (or maybe even full-sized) model and recreate the crash to see if the driver could have been knocked into the rear seat by the impact.

Actually 40 years ago one of our car salesmen rolled a new Toronado 1 mile from the dealership. It burned after he got out, the steering wheel was not a normal shape. The deformation of a steering wheel caused by heat would not be the same deformation as caused by impact. We don't know what type of deformation Moravy was referring to. For all we know, once the investigation is complete, we may hear that the steering wheel was deformed in 2 different manners. There could be deformation by impact with the driver and then by heat once the fire started. Deform a plastic cup with a hammer. Now deform a plastic cup with a heat gun. I'll bet that the difference will be very clear even to those untrained in forensic investigations. Now take a third plastic cup and beat it with hammer before you heat it up. I'll bet that it will look different than the other two. That's the type of detail the investigators will (hopefully) be looking for. e.g. a melted steering wheel that is also cracked/bent. My bet is that if you take a plastic cup and subject it to 1000F for an hour, you _won't_ be able to tell the difference. No one is denying that heat could have deformed the steering wheel in the Tesla. However, to note the simple fact that heat can deform a steering wheel and from that conclude that there was no one in the driver's seat isn't valid. It leaves out other possible ways that the steering could have been deformed that might also explain the lack of a body in the driver's seat. |

So take your **** poor response and shove it. You _know_? Do you have a citation to that effect? Actual mirrors are required to be installed but that is different from banning the use of cameras for that purpose. In point of fact Kia provides live view blindspot monitoring on some models, which they would be unable to do if such things were unlawful. Google "Kia Telluride" and read through the features. Current Federal regulation do not allow active display in place of mirror as of August 28 2019. It is not in place of a mirror. It is in addition to a mirror. So Kia if they are doing so might be skirting that Feds. Given that their cars are imported and subject to safety inspection, it seems unlikely that they would get away with "skirting the feds". Note that Honda and Hyundai have similar systems. Now I think it is a silly regulation, reminded every time I get in the truck, look at the rear view mirror, then put it in reverse. But night time driving it might not be optimal, the headlights behind you would probab;ly wash out the display, by overloading the CCD. |

The front seat could have been holding the doctors bag and or the attorneys brief case to fool the vehicle into believing some one was in the front drivers seat... I'm not saying that you're wrong, but *something* deformed the steering wheel and I'm pretty sure that a doctor's bag [do doctors actually carry bags anymore ;-) ] and/or an attorney's briefcase would not: 1 - Be heavy enough to convince the car that a human was sitting in the seat 2 - Be strong enough or positioned correctly to deform the steering wheel A 1000F for an hour or two won't deform the steering wheel? On my Hondas, the weight range to turn on the "Passenger Air Bag Off" light is somewhere 0 up to 65 lbs. I am assuming (I know, dangerous) that the Tesla has a higher threshold to determine if a passenger is in the driver's seat. Heck, I don't even know if it checks, but if it does, I'd bet it's higher than the weight of the average 10 YO. i.e. much heavier than your average brief case.

Don't laugh. We're working on cockpit vision to do all sorts of things, from setting the mirrors (finding the eyes and move the mirrors accordingly), to distracted/impaired driving (eye-lid recognition), to adjusting the EQ for your tunes based on where your ears are. Big brother is watching. The authorities (or probably Tesla) may even be doing that in this case. Not just Tesla. The "authorities" will be followers, rather like back-up cameras.

The deformation of a steering wheel caused by heat would not be the same deformation as caused by impact. We don't know what type of deformation Moravy was referring to. For all we know, once the investigation is complete, we may hear that the steering wheel was deformed in 2 different manners. There could be deformation by impact with the driver and then by heat once the fire started. Deform a plastic cup with a hammer. Now deform a plastic cup with a heat gun. I'll bet that the difference will be very clear even to those untrained in forensic investigations. Now take a third plastic cup and beat it with hammer before you heat it up.

It's actually is a very good simile to use as an example of impact deformation, heat deformation and a combination of both. The problem with your "1000F for an hour" statement is twofold: 1 - The material used to make a Tesla steering wheel has a much higher melting point than a plastic cup. Therefore, if you are going to use a proxy to prove a concept, the conditions have to match the materials. i.e. if the melting point of a plastic cup is 500 times lower than that of a Tesla steering wheel, then the experiment should be performed with 500 times less heat. If you were building a 1/16 scale model Tomahawk missile, would you power it with a full size engine or would you scale it back a bit? 2 - As I stated in an earlier post, the reports of an hours long 1000° fire were misleading. The authorities stated that the initial blaze was extinguished in 10 minutes. The "hours" was the time spent putting out the small flareups in hard to reach locations. Subjecting a plastic cup to *any* amount of heat for an hour would not be an accurate recreation of the original incident. |

Once again you've proved that all you are doing is reading these posts and slamming them without having done any actual research. I'm pretty that sure that Teslas vice president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy, would not be "expecting a standard round steering wheel." He was the one that said the company found the steering wheel of the vehicle to be deformed. |

It would still have to get nearly as hot to prop ell it, though. Not 16x less heat. 300K/56C exhaust isn't going to prop ell much.

The "authorities" will be followers, rather like back-up cameras. Which can not be used when driving by decree of the law. Even backwards? ;-) Do you have a citation? I know of one application where that's one of the key benefits. There are cameras that (are stitched together to) "look around" a trailer to show what would be visible in a mirror if the trailer weren't there. There are also video rearview "mirrors". I think they're a bad idea because of image distance difference but that's a different discussion. There are all sorts of other applications coming down the line for the center console display. There are things that can't be displayed to the driver when in motion which is why CarPlay and AndroidAuto disable most apps. No citation needed IOW, BS. No you want to prove it otherwise I am sure you are capable. But I KNOW that in the USA it is not allowed to use the backup camera as a rearview while driving. So take your **** poor response and shove it. You _know_? Do you have a citation to that effect? Actual mirrors are required to be installed but that is different from banning the use of cameras for that purpose. In point of fact Kia provides live view blindspot monitoring on some models, which they would be unable to do if such things were unlawful. Google "Kia Telluride" and read through the features. Ram tackled this and IIRC GMC too with an inside rear view mirror that is a mirror and a rear view camera. Apparently there is a toggle switch to go between the two. I don't see what's gained by just substituting a camera/display for a mirror. It would drive me crazy, and probably everyone else over 40. The mirror's image plane would be at infinity, as would the image of the oncoming traffc. The camera/display's image plane would be at the mirror so would take a major refocus. Refocusing is slow, or impossible, for us old farts. IIRC a wider angle. |

If you were going to scale a Tomahawk missile (how do they get away with that name, today), you'd scale the engine's thrust appropriately. Give it up. That's exactly what I meant. "Scale it back a bit" is just an expression. You're just nit-picking numbers when the only point I'm making is that the deformation of the steering wheel (or plastic cup) caused by impact would not be the same as a deformation of the steering wheel (or plastic cup) caused by a fire. You don't need a hours worth of 1000°F heat to illustrate the differences in deformation, just like you don't need to throw the plastic cup at a tree at whatever speed the Tesla was going. Less impact and less heat would still illustrate the *difference* assuming the test material is not as robust as the steering wheel. Moving on. Once again, you prove my point. If you were going to scale a Tomahawk missile (how do they get away with that name, today), you'd scale the engine's thrust appropriately. It would still have to get nearly as hot to prop ell it, though. Not 16x less heat. 300K/56C exhaust isn't going to prop ell much. You also wouldn't expect a 1/16 scale missile to fly the same as the full size model (Reynolds number, and all that). 2 - As I stated in an earlier post, the reports of an hours long 1000° fire were misleading. The authorities stated that the initial blaze was extinguished in 10 minutes. The "hours" was the time spent putting out the small flareups in hard to reach locations. Subjecting a plastic cup to *any* amount of heat for an hour would not be an accurate recreation of the original incident. Actually, it would. Temperature is not heat. |

Of course not.* But we don't have oil wells or refineries here. But I only have 1 oil well in my back yard.* ;~) I knew it.* You have too much common sense to spend $6-700 on a shop vac, unless... LOL, That multi hundred dollar shop vac, let's call it the dust extractor, has run every time and as for as long as my 4 Festool sanders, Domino mortiser, Festool track saw, and Kapex miter saw all combined. Plus a few other tools. It is 13 years old. I'd buy it again with out much thought. When you look at the price of a high-end house vac, it's not all that ridiculous. Sure, it's a lot more than a "5.5HP" Crapsman shop vac but a $99 Hoover isn't a decent household vac either. About 30 years ago I bought a Ricar home vacuum cleaner. Still own it, and it was similar in price to the Festool vac. Lite weight, built to last, could suck up and digest a quarter. But we switched to a Roomba 13 years ago, on our 3rd now, and do not use the big vac anymore. I remember Eletrolux vacuums being well over $1000, 50 years ago. The CT48 works really well the saw, sanders, and routers. SCMSs are hopeless. I have three cheap BORG vacs (garage, shop, and drywall dust) for everything else. |

And the vehicle was not to be badly damaged from the crash so much as from the fire. Don't be so sure about that. I've been in a similar accident. Even though the airbags went off and the driver (me) uninjured, the steering wheel was pretty well bent towards the dash (way towards). If you're holding onto the steering wheel you, and your arms, go forward to meet the airbag. The hands are still gripping the steering wheel, so it takes a beating. Steering wheels are designed to deform and the columns collapse for exactly this reason. Airbags help but only keep you in the vehicle and your torso away from other solid objects. The arms aren't restrained at all. Take a look at a crash dummy test sometime. It's ugly. |

I posted this the last time you said that the crash was at 30 MPH: ***** Not according to the po-po. This is dated May 12, 2021: https://www.insurancejournal.com/new.../12/613656.htm "The report didnt say how fast the car was going, but Harris County Precinct Four Constable Mark Herman said it was a high speed." ***** I'm not sure what Mr. Herman means by "high speed", but I'm speculating that it was more than 30 MPH. Even you said "Seems to me a 30 mph crash should not have been so devastating." One would think that if there was some one in the drivers seat that the air bag would have gone off and prevented the driver from deforming the steering wheel. And the vehicle was not to be badly damaged from the crash so much as from the fire. |

He was the one that said the company found the steering wheel of the vehicle to be deformed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...verless-crash/ Here's the headline from your link, dated April 19, 2021: "A driverless Tesla crashed and burned for four hours, police said, killing two passengers in Texas" Here's another headline from 2 days later: "Tesla Fire in Texas Crash Was Not How It Was Reported, Says Fire Chief" https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...ls-fire-chief/ So yes, technically, the fire did burn "for four hours", but not at the extreme temperatures of the initial blaze. Even a typical house fire can "burn for fours hours" if you are talking about smoldering and minor flare-ups. |
