You're assuming eggs need to be broken in the first place, which is not at all proven. There are more options than what Tesla is doing - just look at Waymo as a counterexample of actually prioritizing safety over public release speed.
- colinmhayes 6y agoIf you want the amount of data necessary you do need miles driven. The millions of extra miles may very well be what it takes to put tesla over the edge. Sure you can do that in a controlled environment, but it would take a lot longer, and people would die in the mean time.
- justapassenger 6y agoThis argument makes sense, if you can assume that Tesla will actually deliver functional FSD system as a direct result of their approach. There's no data to support it.
- stickfigure 6y agoYou're claiming "even though Tesla's self driving might be better/safer than human driving today, and will in aggregate save lives over the present state, there's this other approach which could save even more lives!" It's not certain that Waymo's approach will be better, especially at scale (and in cities other than Phoenix). We don't have that kind of data yet. And even if it is better, Tesla's approach is still a pareto improvement over now. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
