A death caused by shitty engineering (e.g. Tesla in this case) is not the same as a death caused by gross negligence on ones own part.
>And if you prevent lifesaving technology then you are responsible for a whole lot of deaths, irregardless of how "deserved" those deaths are.
How many deaths has Tesla prevented, which would have happened otherwise?
- AliShug 9y ago> How many deaths has Tesla prevented, which would have happened otherwise? Certainly a larger number than the number of deaths caused by Autopilot failure (which makes major news in every individual case). Have a look at YouTube for videos of Teslas automatically avoiding crashes.
- ksk 9y agoI don't see a number.
- mike10010100 9y ago> A death caused by shitty engineering (e.g. Tesla in this case) is not the same as a death caused by gross negligence on ones own part. The result is the same, no? Isn't the idea to save lives? Why does one life have more value than another's simply because someone's death was caused by their own negligence? What about the other people on the road? Do their lives matter less because of the gross negligence of the person not paying attention while they're driving? This issue is a lot more complicated than you're making it seem.
- ksk 9y agoIt is unethical to ship non-essential/luxury features containing known defects which could lead to someone's death.
