> A natural reaction to these incidents is to assume that there must be something seriously wrong with Tesla's Autopilot system. After all, you might expect that avoiding collisions with large, stationary objects like fire engines and concrete lane dividers would be one of the most basic functions of a car's automatic emergency braking technology. > But while there's obviously room for improvement, the reality is that the behavior of Tesla's driver assistance technology here isn't that different from that of competing systems from other carmakers. Is this actually saying that there's nothing "seriously wrong" with an autopilot that randomly decides to aim at a wall and accelerate, because other self-driving systems also do that? This is some very weird apologetics.
