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

Fun fact, back in 2018, Tesla factories have less safety signs and signals because Elon Musk hates yellow (so no safety tape telling people where not to stand) and cannot stand the beeping noise forklifts make when they reverse.

Absolutely baffled how more people aren’t killed at Tesla factories, tbh.

This is kind of tangential, but white noise backup alarms are neat.
