It's weird that I have to point out second time I _didn't say they have autonomy_. And what's wrong with lowering fatality rate whatever your competitors are doing? Also, I'm anxious to see Waymo released, but current reality is what it is, Waymo is still in testing.

Tesla's driver assist features only work on highways, and highway miles are some of the safest. But the data you get compares assisted teslas on highways to average drivers on all roads. And it's not clear that Tesla is categorically better than competitor's driver assist technology (https://qz.com/1414132/teslas-first-accident-report-claims-its-four-times-safer-than-the-us-average/ https://qz.com/1414132/teslas-first-accident-report-claims-i...). So nothing you've claimed is strongly supported by evidence, and given that these are safety claims that you're parroting from tesla, I'm going to reiterate: Tesla's claims of improved safety and marketing are dangerous since they aren't true. > It's weird that I have to point out second time I _didn't say they have autonomy_. Right, but Tesla does, they call their driver assist "Autopilot".
- zlsa 7y agoAutopilot != autonomy in cars or in planes.
- joshuamorton 7y agoI'm not sure what you're getting at. In planes (and especially in planes in pop culture), autopilot does allow flight without keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, so to speak.
