People would care if he hit a tree because it's still dangerous. Perhaps Jim Harbaugh wouldn't but most people aren't ok with dangerous driving.

I don't know why ppl care so much, internet full of bored ass trolls lol
The only person who got hurt was Kyle, sounds like he learned his lesson but ppl can't move on lol
I never understood the love for Tesla autos. They look s**tty and cheap, the truck looks like a kid designed it lol why would anyone want that? And it wouldn't surprise me if a car crumpled like paper in a crash.

Shanny says yesterday that this accident didnt affect him much………..and Grant just said, Really? I was in that meeting you had with the reporters and you were crying in front of us. And now you are implicating Tesla after you told us not to do that before? I knew this was all a bunch of BS. From the start. Some of us have BS detectors and some of us don't.
When you said didn't affect much, you mean guilt? He still takes accountability and said he was stupid.

Lol I didn't realize how stupid Grant was until now, I have barely been able to stand to watch him more than a few minutes before this incident. But yeah, I won't be watching him anymore. He is a moron and the only reason he has the job that he does, is because of his dad, period. A snot-nosed brat.

"Yeah, I mean, I didn't sit there and feel like I had to. I didn't have a ton of guilt over it or anything. The word's an accident and it truly was that way. You realize how quick and close that stuff can happen. When you're going at 20 miles an hour and you're on autopilot, I honestly have zero worries. I have so much trust in that stuff. That was a good lesson that you can't ever have zero worries. I think it definitely could be an example for a lot of people.
Seems so familiar with his whole tenure here in SF, just regarding game time decisions, player personnel decisions that have impacted the team in a big way at those moments. It's part of who he is. He doesn't realize, or care, how stuff like this comes off. I used a term for it before, but had to rephrase it.
He had an assumption that he was safer than he was and now recognizes that. What's the problem here, exactly? Is it that he's not crushed with guilt and unable to function because of it? He's learned, he's admitted he acted stupidly, and is now moving forward. Why is this so horrible?
Do people expect him to beg each of them personally for forgiveness for being a terrible human being or something?

Grant found a public record and Kyle set it straight. Pretty much immediately. How was it Kyle lying when he had made no public statement to anyone about what happened before then?

Just him. Anything Brandon Aiyuk ever does is also Kyles fault.

No he called reporters that cover the team to a private group meeting in his office a week ago and gave a tearful, remorseful explanation. Then yesterday at his presser he gave a completely different story and blamed the auto pilot device in his Tesla. I mean I'm no detective but Kyle has an issue with accountability. He took a bad look and somehow made it worse by opening his mouth

No. He didn't. He stated it was his fault for looking away on both meetings. He stated the autopilot was on in both meetings. In the latest press conference he stated he's not sure if he accidentally turned the autopilot off or not when he looked away to get his phone.
In neither statement did he blame the autopilot.

Are you mad at yourself for getting in the situation?
"Yeah. I mean, anytime you cause an accident that can be avoided, you'd feel pretty stupid. Especially when you have a chance to hurt someone else. You get mad when you get a ticket at yourself, so it's kind of the same. I think everyone's done, to a degree, what I've done. Dropping a phone, it falling all the way to my back seat to where I have to fully take my eyes off the road. It's something that I normally wouldn't do. I've had autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. Who knows what happened when I turned around. Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off, that's something I don't know yet. But regardless, it is always your fault, whether you're on autopilot or not. You can't take your eyes off the road. It's a partnership driving. You don't just turn it over to a computer. It's a good lesson, no matter how comfortable I am with that, that I believe someday could save my life or someone else's. It's really helped me have perspective on that stuff."

How anyone could watch or read that recent press conference and conclude he was blaming the autopilot and changing his story is beyond me. It's simply not what he said.

Want to show me an example? If not I'll finally block you as well. I'm finally moving on from yall disingenuous posters. Just a waste of forum space really.

Grant posted a video on YouTube about an hour ago regarding the inconsistencies in Kyle's story. I tend to believe Grant over your opinion. No offence but Grant was in his office a week ago when Kyle called the meeting and was also at the press conference yesterday. He does this stuff for a living. I think people can come up with their own conclusions
