A million people a year die every year, almost all are human error. We need this technology advancement as soon as possible. Also, while you can see some accidents with Tesla Autopilot the crash stats seem to indicate is Tesla cars are doing a great job preventing accidents.
- Syonyk 5y ago> the crash stats seem to indicate is Tesla cars are doing a great job preventing accidents. No, they don't. Tesla won't release enough data to allow anyone else to evaluate it, so you're stuck with their bulk statistics, which generally speaking compare middle aged (safe) drivers, in luxury cars (safe), in well marked road conditions (safe) during good weather (safe) with "all accidents, for all vehicles, for all drivers, in all road conditions, in all weather."
- 2muchcoffeeman 5y agoI’m not sure how we test such a feature well enough to deploy it widely. But I guess the thing is, AutoPilot is using a human as the backup. The human is saving the car from making mistakes. The very thing that is supposedly worse than the car is the only thing capable of making certain decisions well enough when things get a bit dicey. Edit: typo. ‘treat’ -> ‘test’
