> Mobileye said it would no longer provide its computer chips and algorithms to Tesla after a current contract ends due to disagreements about how the technology was deployed.
But it's good to have the exact reason Mobileye decided against renewing the contract in writing. I'm still keen to see how Volvo's system ends up since they (if I recall correctly) are the only car company which has so far indicated they would accept responsibility for incidents caused by their driverless system: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34475031 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34475031 -- hopefully this'll compel their engineering teams to focus more on safety rather than MVP.
I do wonder whether both Tesla and SpaceX are seeing the issues they're seeing because of the abysmal work-life balance at both companies. Great successes on both sides, but there are increases in risks of catastrophic failure in products from both companies which have already been realized. I'm sure work life balance isn't the only reason, but it wouldn't surprise me if Musk's inability to personally burn out isn't actually shared by the vast majority of his engineers.
- 6nf 10y agoVolvo's stated goal is improved safety on the road, both for the car's occupants and for other road users. Volvo are not adding sensors to make driving more convenient, they are adding sensors to make driving safer. The whole Volvo brand is built around feeling safe.
