Tesla Whistleblower Says ‘Autopilot’ System Is Not Safe Enough To Be Used On Public Roads::“It affects all of us because we are essentially experiments in public roads.”
He says this yet they’re already out on the roads logging millions of miles without any outsized danger. Just because we get sensational headlines about a driver behind the wheel who crashed into the side of a semi, doesn’t mean they’re any more dangerous than any other car. AFAIK Tesla still has far fewer wrecks than many others. These driving aids have a lot of room for improvement but they only need to be better than an average driver in order to reduce accidents.
I think it’s very likely that specially Tesla would go ahead with technology that is dangerous in certain situations, as long as it only happens rarely.
We all know what kind of a man Elon is.
You would not see the same in other established car brands.
Elon is the kind of man who would break not only eggs, but the chickens and the chicken farmers, to make his omelet, and if people get hurt, he would blame it on them for being stupid.
I would never trust a Tesla because I obviously don’t trust Elon and nobody should.
It’s not just about what he’s saying. It’s about the internal data he’s leaking to back up the claims.
Nah it’s because they decided to use cameras instead of LiDAR and then try to make it autonomous instead of driver aid.
AI is at its best when it’s opening up productivity and freedom to think critically or leisurely, the same way sticky notes help someone study.
Autopilot is just advanced cruise control. I think you’re conflating it with FSD which is their autonomous driving feature.
