Obscured under " Develop a self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual via massive fleet learning "
is the cold hard truth that that learning will be paid for in lives - mostly of Tesla drivers possibly of others.
The rates of accidents in manual vs current version of autopilot may work out to be favorable - (and that is still under debate) - but there certainly will be people who will die (and have died) due to a premature roll-out of Autopilot and their trust of it. This is some bloody cold calculation
- gozur88 10y agoWhile it's true people are going to die on autopilot, what you need to compare it with is the number of people who would otherwise have caused collisions the autopilot avoided. Statistically if it isn't already safer than the average driver it's very close. There are 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes in the US every year. Self driving cars might end up being safer even if we were all perfect drivers.

- pjscott 10y agoRefusal to do such cold calculation, though it may feel nice, is also paid for in lives. The prices are usually worse, too.
