Well there's a lot of safety features that require semiconductor components. Back up cameras, collision warning, lane assist, brake assist, tire pressure warning, etc. Humans are bad drivers.
- PHGamer 6y agowe dont need half of that stuff. backup cam is fine (because of the stupid b pillars now) , tire pressure warning is probably cheap enough and not going to be hard to fab at more open foundaries but lane assist and brake assist. naw, fucking drive your car . plus all that self driving stuff makes it easier for cars to be totalled and bring repairs up because of all the sensors.
- atom058 6y agoThe pillars are there to save lives during a crash. The lane assist and brake assist - along with adaptive cruise control - are great systems that also increase safety, if used properly. The difference in fatigue alone that these systems contrubute to is (anecdotally from my experience) night and day. I believe that the improved safety is worth the increasing complexity of maintenance.
- karmakaze 6y agoTaking this further. Statistically I might be better off with full autonomous as soon as available, but I wouldn't feel as bad if I crashed myself vs dying while letting the ML data do it's thing. If harm came to others, I'd still be the one who chose to buy/use it and only technically free. At some point I will change my opinion but it will have to be many many times better than humans.
