I feel like I-5 between SF and LA is probably one of the safer places to use it. Any place else, maybe not so much.

- wooter 8y agotypical fear-based, anti-freedom, anti-progress response in these comments. The NHTSA found a 40% crash rate reduction from Tesla's autopilot. So yea "blame Elon Musk"
- tptacek 8y agoNo, that's not at all clear, and is in fact unlikely; rather: some of the capabilities in the basket of features Tesla calls "autopilot" are associated with lower crash rates, and it's not at all clear which; there are steep reductions in accidents, possibly exceeding Tesla's numbers, from cars with automatic emergency braking. Just because AEBs are useful safety features does not mean that auto-steering is necessarily on net a safe feature.
- rohit2412 8y agoThank you for saying this. I'm just astounded people don't question things logically
- intortus 8y agoNo, the NHTSA found no such thing. They did, however, determine that Tesla was not participating in their investigations in good faith.
- simion314 8y agoThis is false, stop this Tesla propaganda with false facts.
- dang 8y agoMaybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.
- simion314 8y agoThe person posted same false fact/conclusion that there is data to prove autopilot is 40% safer all over HN, it looked to me as a misinformation campaign, You are right though, it may look as a PR campaign but I can be sure, it could be just a misinformed fanboy
