Thanks, that turns this from a very serious concern to a much smaller one.

I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made contact, which would have terrible implications for the rest of the fleet.

Not really, this means there is a whole bunch of cars like this already in the wild and people being unaware of this.

That is true, but if it's a 2002 model and this first happened now, I perceived it to be a low-probability event.

I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this bug, I'm just saying it doesn't have as catastrophic implications as it would if this happened in a state-of-the-art Tesla.

I think that gp is being ironic since the event they described actually happened.

I don't really see any way the remote start could have triggered the car moving... Unless perhaps the car was in gear?

I would guess this car has had some kind of aftermarket fiddling...

No, but understandable since we masquerade 3 Tesla fails per year as international news while ignoring the 101 gruesome highway deaths daily

as a ratio, the number of non-Tesla’s on the road is far greater than 34:1, so Tesla’s are responsible for a disproportionate share
