"… and now with a software update, you can actually make /999/ of people safer"

  I mean... both situations could still be true :-P but seriously, that was a serious WTF video. The comedic timing and the horror of what that car just tried to do.

  Three nines is good enough for Tesla, I guess. It is worth noting that humans make stupid mistakes like this too, but I don't think this excuses the automation's mistake. Cars don't abuse substances (okay, most of the time), so we should be throwing out like 75% of all accidents right there. Do better, Tesla. Beta testing like this is unacceptable when it is fucking with cyclist's safety. On the technical side of things, I can see how a slower-but-still-moving object next to the car might screw with path-making. But this isn't how the bugs should be hammered out. I say we outlaw all OTA updates for vehicles. If it didn't ship with the software it's running, it's not street-legal. (And as for vulnerability fixes, Tesla's smart. Let them figure it out.)

    > It is worth noting that humans make stupid mistakes like this too Humans generally don't. Only humans that are impaired (drunk/lack of sleep) do this more than "autopilot" in its current state: https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1488673180403191808 https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1488673180403191808

      True. What I was trying to say is that since the automation does not have this weakness, we should be improving on mistake-rates, not introducing more failure points.
