And yet, its still an objectively better driver than you.
- legolas2412 9y agoNot a better driver than "me +active driver assistance like collision detection, Lane keeping etc".
- stretchwithme 9y agoI think that we'll only turn over driving to a computer (for reals) when safety systems are good enough to prevent most accidents. I think we'll keep the safety system separate from the drive system. Perfecting safety on human drivers first is the way to go and will most of the risk of lettings computers drive.
- makomk 9y agoIndeed, and not only that, Elon Musk's example of Autopilot supposedly saving lives that he famously tweeted a while back was manual driving + active driver assistance in the form of automatic emergency braking (which is supposed to become mandatory on new cars at some point). It happened in conditions far outside what Autopilot was capable of actually driving in.
- in_cahoots 9y agoIs that what they're claiming here? It looks like they're just saying that the hardware is capable of it, and that it will beat human driving at some point in the future.
- stretchwithme 9y agoCorrect. There are probably primates that have all the hardware required to drive a car too. But more is required. Humans are still better at interpreting many things and probably dealing with weather and construction and when there is no data.
- ageofwant 9y ago"All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver."
- tptacek 9y ago"Have the hardware needed". Note: not the capability; just the hardware. It's an unnatural way to write promo copy for a feature, and is written that way for a reason.
- beaconstudios 9y agoI think that with tesla's wireless software updating capabilities they'll continue to improve the software over time after you buy the car.
- tptacek 9y agoSo we're just waiting for Sufficiently Smart Car Software, is what you're saying? That sounds speculative.
- beaconstudios 9y agoit certainly is, but that's my read on the situation.
- greglindahl 9y agoThat is Tesla's existing track record, yes. How far they can improve on a given sensor platform is the unknown part.
- defterGoose 9y agoIt's not objectively better if I've caused 0 accidents to the autopilot's several, even if I've driven several million fewer miles.
