Assuming what you say is true, is the Tesla system worse than a human driver overall in its operating domain? Humans have weaknesses too. What do the data say

Assuming what you say is true, is the Tesla system worse than a human driver overall in its operating domain?
Humans have weaknesses too. What do the data say on their relative performance? I’m not taking a position here, just asking for data.
- KaiserPro 7y agoLook, "autopilot" works on highways, where there is a median. Everything goes the same direction, and there is a minimal amount of clutter. Its about as easy as driving gets. This is why a level 2 "autopilot" can parade around the place as something that is both innovate and safe. None of the data compares what happens at junctions, which is where the majority of crashes happen. It cannot work in suburban sprawl, It can't cope with poor weather, it can only drive on highways.

- danboarder 7y agoNot sure why you state this. I've used autopilot in a Model 3 on city streets and suburbs, it works pretty great.

Until traffic on the other side of the median barrier hit a big deep puddle, absolutely covering my car with a thick sheet of water. Autopilot immediately started screaming at me to take control. I already had my hands on the wheel, but it still scared me because I couldn't see either! After the water washed a way in a couple seconds, I was able to re-enable AP and keep going.
