Guy walks into traffic while on his phone. Kicks my CB.

That's not how right of way works.

Nor jaywalking, which is both illegal and negligent per se.

I don’t know where you are, but everywhere is not California, FYI. I can guarantee you, around these parts, that guy would be run over and that would just be the end of it. (I’m not advocating that, I’m just stating fact. We have a very long history of running wayward pedestrians right-over in this town). We built pedestrian bridges and barricades to keep people away from the places where the cars go. Separation is the best solution.

AND, pedestrians do not ALWAYS have the right of way anywhere in the US. Jaywalking (which is basically what this was) does not provide you with either the legal or moral authority to be in the middle of an active thoroughfare with your head up your a$$.

EVERYONE has to be responsible for their actions. He’s fortunate that he encountered OP, not me. This would’ve been a different story about a guy getting his ass kicked.

You break the law and then kick my car, while I’m sitting in it after I just, basically, saved YOUR life and stopped your negligence from ruining my day (and possibly getting your greasy face-prints all over my frunk)?!? Interesting reaction …

So you’d get out and kick his ass for that? Giving a half-assed foot boop to a bulletproof truck? Aren’t you a lawyer? How would that defense go in court?

Sigh. What Defense?

If I got out of my car and beat the living snot out of this guy for kicking it, that would be a battery and an assault (if he saw me coming). It would at minimum be a tort and probably a crime depending on how badly I beat him (assuming he didn’t hand me my ass instead).

You’re right, running him over would be the better choice. Good talk!

How so? If the collision were unavoidable, i.e. pedestrian steps out from between 2 parked cars and the Cybertruck can't avoid him or pedestrian runs out into the crosswalk on a no crossing light while the Cybertruck is moving through the intersection and the pedestrian is going to be at fault because the truck had the right of way in both cases. But right of way doesn't suddenly invoke Death Race 2000 rules. Had the driver hit that pedestrian, the last thing I'd be using is that Tesla cam footage to defend yourself.

Well I hope you’re kidding/playing around/had one too many this evening, because there would be an arrest made if that video continued with the driver getting out and attacking the pedestrian.

I'm surprised to see that you have good footage of it?
did you use the horn or press the record button right when it happened
so you can capture the last 10 seconds that passed and 25 more seconds into the future.
or it did this automatically?

 

[Balthezor]

You didn't scare the shit out of him with the firetruck horn?

no its because you can set the record camaras button to work when you use the horn or honk.

Was replying to the OP.

This is a huge problem in our country where people just walk across the road without looking and most of the time on their damn phones. I don’t know about y’all but I grew up learning to look both ways before crossing the street. I guess parents don’t teach that anymore. This guy did not have the right of way and there clearly would have been a don’t walk sign.

It keeps a good bit of footage temporarily even if you don't manually mark the clip to be saved (with the horn or the dash cam icon). I actually have a Raspberry Pi in my glovebox that acts like a USB drive for purposes of saving dash cam footage, but it automatically connects to WiFi in my driveway and uploads all recent and saved clips to my network. If I forget to save something, it'll upload a few hours of footage in the recent clips and I can go back later and find it.

Nice. Do you mind linking the instructions for this? Sounds awesome. Thank you

 

[CyberGus]

I kick my own truck when I need to demonstrate the toughness ?

It hurts ? ?

Not my project and it hasn't been updated in a long time, but the setup was easy and so far it seems to be working as advertised.

The Raspberry Pi doesn't exactly get a great signal inside the glovebox in a stainless steel cage, but the footage usually gets uploaded okay while charging.

I haven't experienced any instances of not being able to view or retrieve footage the same as if there was a USB installed, but a Raspberry Pi is certainly more fragile than a USB drive is, so it's possible it could be damage and not record something that a USB drive might have been able to.

It's especially nice because it snapshots the RecentClips folder, allowing you to retain more than an hour of footage even if you don't immediately offload it.

Maybe this will help correct the behavior ?‍
