Isn’t it still likely overall safer to use, especially within its guidance (to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road)? I would imagine their self driving features have prevented many more accidents than they have caused.
- syrrim 5y agoMost cars have AI technology to prevent crashes. What differentiates tesla is that they have technology that enables the driver to stop paying attention. Automatic braking has likely saved lives, but in this dimension it isn't clear that tesla has gone above and beyond other auto-makers. Enabling drivers to stop paying attention endangers them, and it is only in this dimension that tesla is clearly unique.
