Tesla asserts Autopilot makes the world safer – days after fiery, fatal crash
- mtgx 9y agoThat's such BS. That crash wouldn't have happened if the human wouldn't have used the Autopilot at all (which Tesla encourages you to do when you buy their cars). Also, I'm not sure I even understand their point - how exactly does Autopilot make for "safer driving" right now (not talking about a perfect version of it 15 years from now)? Are they talking about auto-braking maybe? I can see how auto-braking can make for safer driving, but I don't think you even need the Autopilot enabled for that, do you? Plus, you'd be driving as you normally would. So why attribute that sort of feature to "Autopilot making driving safer"? I think they are very distinct features, and they should be advertised as very distinct features. I have no problem with features that protect the manual driver in case of imminent accident, but "self-driving" of any level should not be enabled until the car can drive the human without any interaction from the human, which would be at least Level 4.
