I'd be curious to know what definition of edge-case you are using. I think self-driving can't be entirely about edge-cases by definition (of edge-case).

  you’re talking about the definition of a single edge case. you can argue about the exact proportion, but it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that real world conditions are dominated by an amalgamation of many different edge cases that together add up to many percentage points.

  Sure 99% of driving is pointing the car straight, keeping it between the lines and avoiding the car in front of you. That's easy and has been essentially solved by dozens of car makers. The "edge" cases are pretty much everything else. There are a near infinite number of possibilities here and it is clear that no one is anywhere near close enough to covering them all. Stopping for a pedestrian when turning right is not some completely unforeseeable event.

    I get it. However what matters the most in my view is the long term ratio of serious accidents in self-driving vs human driving. There is no need to cover all possibilities for that, right? The only problem with Tesla is IMHO that the name FSD is misleading.
