Because Tesla’s safety features apparently make it so that you can get away with driving drunk. Dude was obviously drinking a beer and everything. They told him they could tell he was drinking, to warn him because while they weren’t going to narc on him, someone definitely will, and he just sort of absentmindedly smiled.

Absolutely 100% narc on drunk drivers, he is literally endangering lives

Yes, call the police on people with substance abuse issues, well done, thank you for your input, officer

He's doing a shit thing, but self appointing yourself as a cop aint it.

Family friend of mine killed someone drunk driving a few decades back. I know more than one person who's lost family to a drunk driver.

Fuck drunk drivers

has to be

I'm too autistic to get it, but I'm not so out of touch with social norms that I would expect anyone to openly defend drunk driving, so yeah

definitely a joke

Fuck off. Don't act like this is about substance abuse issues. Countless addicts and alcohols do not drive drunk. Get drunk all you want, do whatever drugs you want, but the moment you step into the drivers seat you're a piece of shit who deserves whatever is coming. Don't act like a victim for pointlessly endangering random people's lives.

in a just world you could narc on him for driving a tesla

What's the answer then to stopping drunk drivers killing people. Which happens daily. Telling them not to do it doesn't work, What's our next line of defense?

Driving a Tesla apparently.

Do Tesla's not have one of the highest accident rates of all self-driving vehicles?

Disclaimer I don't know if that's true, I feel like I've read it elsewhere on Lemmy, though I never verified it.

The news story was regarding people getting insurance quotes, the group pf people the story was about have either owned a Tesla or were getting a new quote on a new/existing Tesla. It would make sense that people who drive like shit would want driver assist technology.

I guess you can narc to under and not involve gunmen. Still getting him fired is harsh but thats the public safety goal.

I've gotten a few reports on this comment. I'm going to leave it up simply because I think the comments responding to it are good comments. And to be clear, I think it's morally correct to narc on a drunk driver. No one is moralizing about substance abuse. Drunk drivers kill people. It's that simple.

No one calling the cops on a person for being drunk. Drink all the booze you want. Just. Don't. Drive.
