The engineer left a "trail of blood" when he escaped from the robot's claws, according to reports from a witness at the Tesla giga factory in Texas.

given the scrutiny around Tesla, it’s interesting this story doesn’t seem to have come out sooner since this is a fairly novel workplace accident

    Two of the robots were disabled, but a third was inadvertently left on.

    I dunno what people expect Tesla to do about people that fail to follow safety protocols.

        …about their personal bodily injury? You have to pay people for that?

          Yes. If someone is poor, they have to spend more energy in the day. It’s spent on stress, bad food, drugs (including alcohol), domestic problems, doing chores that could be solved with money, and at worst, working a second job or in the gig economy. Stressed, hungry, exhausted people sleeping on bad mattresses get worse sleep and stay tired.

          And you CANNOT mind your safety to the proper degree if you’re exhausted. It’s not a question of wanting to, it’s a question of what’s physically possible.
