You're not supposed to go to sleep or take your eyes off the road with self driving. Just like how you can't rely on chat bots and AI to fully answer your customers' questions.
What's not reported in the media is how self driving / autopilot has saved lives. There are plenty of videos online about Teslas making the right split second decision to swerve (in the right direction) or apply the brakes to avoid an accident.
There's way too much focus on accidents due to self driving when there are a lot more accidents happening from non-self-driving vehicles.
- gattilorenz 7y agoThis is drifting off topic, but... you're advocating for being constantly alert while the car drives itself? Doesn't this have the same cognitive load as driving, with possibly the additional time needed for "flexing your muscles" to regain control of the driving wheel? To me, self driving means that I can not care. If I must pay attention to avoid being killed, it is at most some glorified adaptive lane keeping and/or emergency braking. That's nice to have, but it's not self driving.
- m463 7y agoThe person in the accident was not using "full self driving". At that time they only did traffic aware cruise control + lane keeping.
- gattilorenz 7y agoWhich one, the model X that crashed on the highway lane barrier/split? That's not the only car crash. But anyway... That doesn't change the argument, if only it is more worrying
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoAll. FSD isn't out. Many car crashes occur for many car models. What's your point?
