That in itself doesn't constitute evidence that it isn't getting safer. After all humans occasionally drive into concrete pillars too.
What matters is that the distance traveled without incident goes up in a super-linear fashion over time. It would be nice if someone had hard numbers on that.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoI’d say if we compare Tesla self driving numbers with human drivers driving similar cars, and count every disengagement as an accident, it would be a fair comparison. Tesla wouldn’t come out looking very good with those numbers though.
- the8472 5y agoThese rules seem quite stacked, we could also count every human crossing a red light or texting while driving as an accident. But that's besides the point. I was arguing about the trend line. It may seem silly now, but if the error rate is roughly a straight line on a logarithmic graph then we'll get there soon enough. If it isn't then tesla at very least would have to admit they have a problem and explain how they'll get out of it.
