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

    Important context autotldr missed:

    The incident happened when the engineer was programming the software that controls the robots, which cut car parts from aluminium, The Information reported.

    Two of the robots were disabled, but a third was inadvertently left on. As it went through its normal motions, it caught the worker in its claws.

    Yikes, that should be checked multiple times before someone gets close to the clawed aluminum cutting robot. Failure of process, I suspect.
