      I hate felon musk but I honestly believe their self driving tech is safer than humans.

      Have you seen the average human? They’re beyond dumb. If they’re in cars it’s like the majority of htem are just staring at their cell phones.

      I don’t think self driving tech works in all circumstances, but I bet it is already much better than humans at most driving, especially highway driving.

        Bro I saw a video of their car drive through a wall and hand the controls back to the driver. No, it absolutely is not.

          When was the last time you saw a “wall” erected on a freeway that was perfectly painted to mimic the current time of day, road, weather, etc. I’m not talking about for that example, i’m talking about in the real world.

          The answer is never.

          Yes, the optical sensors are fooled by an elaborate ruse that doesn’t exist in real world operating conditions on a highway.

          I still argue that for most normal driving circumstances, it is massively safer than humans who malfunction constantly.

          I will never, ever buy a tesla so long as felon musk has any ownership in it whatsoever. The guy is irredeemable. Still have way more faith in self driving tech overall (industry wide) than human drivers though. That’s the work of engineers, not an asshole.

        Human drivers have an extremely long tail of idiocy. Most people are good (or at least appropriately cautious) drivers, but there is a very small percentage of people who are extremely aggressive and reckless. The fact that self driving tech is never emotional, reckless or impaired pretty much guarantees that it will always statistically beat humans, even in somewhat basic forms.

          It’s all about the whole dunning-kruger effect where most just know nothing despite thinking otherwise, right?

        That’s how it should be. Unfortunately, one of the main decision maker on tesla’s self driving software is doing their best to make it perform worse and worse every time it gets an update.
