prime driving conditions means: well marked freeways.
Accidents primarily happen in areas like suburban and city streets with pedestrians, effectively randomized lighting and road surfaces, and random mix of traffic lights, stops sign, and poor road markings.
The closer you get to the latter the less likely AP is to engage, and also the higher likelihood of a crash for any vehicle. Effectively AP is ensuring that it can never been operating in the situations that produce the bulk of the crash rate statistics, so any claims of relative safety are kind of meaningless.
- perl4ever 6y ago>Accidents primarily happen in areas like suburban and city streets I was just taking a defensive driving course for the insurance discount, and I think it said the vast majority of (lethal, major) accidents are on two lane rural highways. Because in the US they are often posted at 55 mph, and have uncontrolled intersections, unpredictable visibility, no separation between oncoming traffic, and so on. But I assume you also wouldn't want to use autopilot there either.
