I still can't believe how under-sensored Tesla's "Auto Pilot" is. It's dangerous marketing it as self driving and not forcing drivers to pay attention.

- adamweld 10y agoDangerous, yes. Marketed as self driving, no.
- ams6110 10y agoThey called it Auto-Pilot. 90% of the public doesn't read beyond that.
- jfoster 10y agoIn your opinion. Objectively, tonnes of people are using it right now, have been for months (is it a year yet?) and there has been one incident. In my opinion, it was developed by engineers probably a lot smarter than you or I, has enough sensoring for what it does, and despite not being flawless, might be better than no autopilot.
- xigency 10y agoThis is a ridiculous response. The known fatality from Tesla's Autopilot was caused by an existing sensor problem that has no remedy, besides more sensors. The thing will essentially drive into overhanging white billboards and who knows what else. The fact that this isn't a wide disclosure is criminally reprehensible.
- justinv 10y agoA least two. There was a third I had read about, but I don't remember the source http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/15/business/fatal-tesla-crash-in-china-involved-autopilot-government-tv-says.html http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/15/business/fatal-tesla-cr... I'd also argue that there is a difference between incident and fatality. Incidents are also bad - even if they're not fatal.
