Can anyone explain me what is fundamentally wrong with Tesla approach emotions aside.
Tesla rolled out FSD Beta(not Autopilot) to a very small group of people. After been in public for almost a year, it has 0 death or injuries.
It is not ideal. Tesla clearly understand that and communicate that to every user of FSD Beta. They limit amount of people using it. Also they limit the way you use it introducing lots of points of control so that you pay attention at the road.
EDIT: They will kick you out of the beta for a slight miss-doing such as phone or distraction. You will not get into this beta if your driving skills are not perfect. Even if you press a break too hard all the time, it's a passive sign to them your driving is not perfect.
They invest billions of dollars in infrastructure so that application of this feature can grow.
Tesla use testing data to eventually enable it in public. That will occur only once they are confident in their security level.
They attract some peoples money who admire their goals to save peoples life.
What's wrong with that? Why people getting mad every time they hear aspirational name Full Self driving. What is the logic behind it?
- k8sToGo 5y agoDoes it not have 0 death or injuries because they kick you out of the beta for not driving perfectly?
- maxdo 5y agoyep, that proves their model actually *WORKS*
- simondotau 5y agoFor all the claims I've read about Tesla supposedly misleading people, I have yet to see any evidence that someone with access to the FSD beta was ever misled by Tesla about it.
- dkjaudyeqooe 5y agoTesting word processing software on your users via beta is really no problem. Testing autodrive software on your users, which might kill them, is wrong. Add in that the messaging that the car will drive itself (ie that it's something other than level 2 automation) and the poor quality of the software and it's not hard to see that Tesla's behaviour is self-serving and repugnant.

The fundamental problem is testing on public streets technology that can very easily kill innocent bystanders if it doesn't work correctly. I don't have a Tesla, but I'm still subject to the risk just by driving, biking and walking on public streets that Tesla thinks is their playground to test buggy new code.
