Fully Self-Driving Cars Are a 'Scam' and Silicon Valley 'Needs to Die'
- pauljurczak 7y agoHe is absolutely right that driver monitoring is a necessary component of any SAE Level 2 and above. It will remain so until capable Level 4 and 5 systems are deployed and verified by billions of low accident rate miles in real world scenarios. I will risk predicting the future here: Tesla will have to add a robust driver monitoring system (beyond steering wheel torque sensor) to their cars with "autopilot" enabled.
- rr98x 7y agoIf that happened, it'd be analogous to iMessages going open-source. Even if most people pay attention in Autopilot mode, the current system is already somewhat demanding. If it were greater, I think it'd lose its appeal.
- bsder 7y agoThis is a very thinly disguised ad/puff-piece for Comma.
- throwjaway5 7y agoWould you be more okay with it if it was Musk talking about Tesla, or Krafcik talking about Waymo?
- oh_sigh 7y agoThere's nothing thinly disguised about musk talking about tesla

- bsder 7y agoNo. The problem is that this is a puff piece that cloaks under the guise of being "controversial" and "hard-hitting". In reality, it is an ad with negligible technical content.
- chkaloon 7y agoI don't see how Levels 4 and 5 can happen without a massive civil engineering effort on the road design and construction side of the equation. Everyone talks about the work being done on the cars. What about an effort to better standardize the roads, markings, maintenance, etc.? Until that happens, we will never get there IMO.
