It's not like Tesla has to release new features every year, they just feel they need to to continue to pump up and justify their stock price.
EDIT:
I misread the parent comment, I’m not opposed to just banning self driving cars as self driving cars likely won't make everyday folks' life better.
- jacquesm 5y agoI'm fine with them unleashing it on Tesla owners, they at least have a choice in the matter. I'm not fine with unleashing it on everybody else too.
- judge2020 5y agoDriving on public streets is an exercise in choreography, so they're the same thing.
- jacquesm 5y agoNo they are not. Low quality software in control of a two ton chunk of iron moving at 35 mph through traffic including pedestrian and bycicles has nothing to do with choreography, that bike was about to be hit from behind because of a vehicle steering into it.
- judge2020 5y agoChoreography in terms of doing things in concert with other road users without classing, including vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists). My point is that unleashing it on Tesla owners is obviously going to involve interacting with other road users. Just because this instance was regarding a bicyclist doesn't mean it's only a danger to bicyclists, there are still ways for people to die if the car were only interacting with other Teslas.
