The real issue is whether or not "Autopilot" is safer than a human or not. If the number of deaths for similar road conditions per distance travelled are less then Tesla should be allowed to continue the way that they are doing things. It's obvious to me the way other systems do this (by slowing down if the user doesn't put his or her hands on the wheel frequently) leads to people not using the feature because it is less useful which may, paradoxically, leads people to have a worse driver at the wheel.
Just the stats, ma'am. Are they safer or not? If so, then it's fine by me. What we gain from self-driving cars in terms of real world usage data is extremely valuable.
- wepple 10y agoinstead of aiming for "the same number or slightly less" accidents than a human, why not have humans give oversight to prevent autopilot errors, and autopilot assist where humans might make a mistake? actually try to let both computers and people excel where they do best, and massively decrease road accidents?
- tdaltonc 10y agoThat sounds good to. I think 3pt14159's implicit question was, "should Tesla be allowed to continue doing this the way they want?" not "Is tesla take the best of all possible approaches to car automation?"
