For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Rules:

No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?

Robotaxi except there's a dude in the drivers seat

Edit: lmao apparently in the passengers seat

front passenger seat has no control pedals. Which raises the question… what are they even doing there?

I figured they’d be hovering their hand over the Park button (which acts as an e-brake and brings the Tesla to a rapid halt if held down), ready to do the EV equivalent of a fire drill.

Not so. The Tesla safety operators appear to always have their thumb on the “Open Door” button of their door, which is sort of weird to see. It’s like every safety operator is getting ready to say the Irish goodbye to their passengers at any given moment.

Turns out, Full Self Driving disengages if you open the door. So that is probably being used as a janky, factory-standard kill switch for the autonomous driving system that causes the vehicle to come to controlled stop.

i-cant

"The tesla employee left the car 1 second before the crash, and self-driving de-activated 0.1s before the crash. Therefore, it was the back-seat passenger's fault."
