Do you own a Tesla? I do. I’ve driven one for 3 years now. It definitely makes road trips easier and reduces fatigue. I believe it requires the same amount of attention but less physical exertion. Your polemic description of “trail of blood and death” is really based on anecdotal descriptions instead of reality. Car accidents happen and will continue to happen for a long time. The goal is to reduce the number of accidents.
- jijojv 8y agoI do since Dec'16. Any common car with adaptive cruise control should make road trips easier and reduce fatigue without any false sense of security. You own the older gen AP1 which should be way more stable and apparently doesn't have this particular "barrier" bug.
- cm2187 8y agoI have never driven a (partially) self driving car but my experience of regular cars is that I struggle to keep my attention on the road (or staying awake) in long trips as a passenger while I have no such problems as a driver. So I could imagine how the driver of a self driving car, particularly after a long time with no incident, could have low reaction times while given even less time to react than if he was driving. In any case, self driving cars will have accidents, not the least because some accidents are unavoidable (random behaviour of other cars, animals or pedestrians, unexpected slippery roads, etc), but running heads on into a large visible static object should never happen. It’s a bug.
