I feel less like "we" have decided that self driving is worth it and more that Tesla is pushing it on everyone and no one has stopped them yet.

I feel less like "we" have decided that self driving is worth it and more that Tesla is pushing it on everyone and no one has stopped them yet.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoI'll go further. Tesla has decided (correctly?) that there is enough money in it for them to push that line. The chemistry set manufacturers decided that there isn't enough money.
- MichaelZuo 5y agoBingo, if the set manufacturers were convinced they could make hundreds of billions, somehow, I would bet they would have continued selling them down to this day.
- stevenAthompson 5y agoIf "we" haven't decided it's worth it, it's likely "we" are wrong. Trillions of dollars and an untold number of of lives have been lost to inefficient human driven transport. See also: Every preventable driving accident ever, and every dollar ever spent on transport for further details. Are you implying that automating it might somehow NOT be the most important innovation since the invention of penicillin, or are you implying that it can't be automated? Sorry, it may be that I'm dense, but I'm actually not clear what your argument here is.
- Sebb767 5y agoSelf driving overall is definitely worth it. What Tesla is currently doing, however, is selling beta software as FSD and testing it on public roads. That's very different.
- HWR_14 5y ago> Are you implying that automating it might somehow NOT be the most important innovation since the invention of penicillin Do people really think self-driving cars are anywhere near the same class of benefit as penicillin, let alone the most important invention since then? Hell, if self-driving cars came out tomorrow, they wouldn't even be the most important innovation in the last two years (that would be the COVID vaccines).
