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.”
ejects gracefully and hands it over to the driver.
Just in time to slam you into an emergency vehicle at 80…but hey…autopilot wasn’t on during the impact, not Musk’s fault.
Nah, with hands on the wheel, looking at the road, the driver, who agrees they will pay attention, will have disengaged the system long before it gets to that point.
The system’s super easy to disengage.
It’s also getting better every year.
5 years ago my car could barely change lanes on the highway. Now it navigates lefts at 5 way lighted intersections in big city traffic with idiots blocking the intersection and suicidal cyclists running red lights as well as it was changing lanes on highway… And highway lane changes are extremely reliable. Cant remember my last lane change disengagement. Same car; just better software.
I bet 5 years from now it’ll be statistically safer than humans… Maybe not same car. Hope it’s my car too, but it’s unclear if that processor is sufficient…
Anyway, it’ll keep improving from there.
