My question is who R&D's these cars at the limits of adhesion? Every single auto maker track tests their cars using real racing drivers who understand vehicle dynamics and can comfortably drive street cars on the limit, and over it. Track testing ensures a car is safe for the average driver, who has no idea that the throttle steers the back of the car-to give just one example.
How will these cars behave when little Jimmy rides his bike in front of them and they have to execute evasive maneuvers?
I hope someone who has a clue about driving was seriously involved with the handling characteristics, otherwise who knows how these cars will behave.
- Latteland 8y agocome on, that's a silly fear mongering ignorant post. They've had designers and engineers from many other car companies working on their cars and you can see endless pictures and videos of people driving their cars on tracks since even before 2012, when the S first came out.
- RaceWon 8y agoYes I agree, I don't follow street cars near as close as I do race cars, so I was ignorant and too busy at that time to G it. TBH I am fundamentally adverse to self-driving cars (though I'd love to race against their future counterparts, but alas I'll be too old) but I am not a Musk hater-I find it astonishing that he can land a rocket on a barge. I am happy to hear he sought out expert advice, and now thanks to you, I have to look into that more myself :)
- Latteland 8y agothanks for your honest answer!
