There is a very fundamental difference. The Tesla autopilot is a mere driving assist system. Like with plain cruise control, the driver is still fully in charge and needs to pay enough attention to take over at any moment. All accidents happened because drivers were not paying attention at all.
With the Boeing, the MCAS system put the 737 in a flight state which trained pilots couldn't recover from.
- aguyfromnb 7y ago>The Tesla autopilot is a mere driving assist system. Yes, when you follow ambiguous instructions, which contradict things like, "Only waiting for regulatory approval!", or"1 million robotaxis this year!" or "Cars can drive by themselves coast-to-coast!"
- _ph_ 7y agoThe instructions given to the owner of a Tesla are not ambiguous. No where it is claimed that the Tesla drives itself without supervision.
