I'm curious to see that, do you have a link? That would actually be a valid comparison.
- Twisell 9y agoI’m on my phone so maybe I haven’t found the most relevants links, but I found the followings. This is Elon musk bragging before the first autopilot accident : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/04/25/elon-musk-teslas-autopilot-makes-accidents-50pc-less-likely/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/04/25/elon-musk-... This is a counterpoint with some fact: http://safer-america.com/safe-self-driving-cars/ http://safer-america.com/safe-self-driving-cars/ And concerning the crash, last update seemed to point driver’s fault... with autopilot... don’t know if final ruling is already out: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/06/20/the-driver-who-died-in-a-tesla-crash-using-autopilot-ignored-7-safety-warnings/?utm_term=.b642ac5f665f https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/06/20...
- kerkeslager 9y agoNeat, thanks for the data.
- rohit2412 9y agoAccording to that "update", Tesla Autopilot can never be at fault right? Because the driver is supposed to be in charge. So, even if Tesla rams full speed into a semi, the driver is at fault!
- greglindahl 9y agoYes, that's how Level 2 systems (like Tesla Autopilot) work.
