I know what beta means: it means that it hasn't shown consistent behaviour in a production environment. It means that there are edge cases which aren't understood yet. It also means that there are desired features which haven't been implemented yet. It means a lot things, of which none give a warm feeling if you're sharing the road with said software.
> As far as I know there wasn't any issue with the autopilot when respecting the limitations stated by Tesla
Ok. Do you think the environment in the video is consistent with the limitations stated by Tesla? When I look at the video, I see a car driving irresponsibly fast past a queue of slow-moving or stationary vehicles which then saved its ass by slamming on the brakes. Automatic cars which drive like that should not be on the road.
- Voloskaya 11y agoI think we cannot agree because we don't have the same definition about who should be responsible of what. This is probably because Tesla call this feature Autopilot, while it is just an Autosteer (they also use this name sometime). Autopilot gives the impression that the car should be autonomous and be able to drive itself, while this is really not the case. The car can only do basically 4 things: -Follow the road lines -Follow the car in front (this is what happen in this video) -OCR on the road sign to adjust it speed -Emergency breaking All the rest is currently the responsibility of the driver, including reducing the speed in dangerous situations (like this one), taking the wheel in sharp turns, taking the wheel in cities, doing stops at traffic lights etc. The Tesla is NOT (yet) an autonomous car, and if you drive it with that expectation, it can be very dangerous indeed.
