1. I know people working at Tesla.
2. Much more important one - Elon's Twitter feed. They're doing last minute changes, and once it compiles and passes some automated tests, it's tested internally only over few days before it's released to the customers. Even if they had world class internal testing (they don't), for something having to work in such a diverse environment like self driving system without any geo-fencing, those timelines are all you need to know.
- esalman 4y agoSome manufacturers hold off on newer, untested tech for years before adding that to their vehicles. This is what happens when safely is a priority. That's why I bought/will keep buying Toyota/Lexus.
- vardump 4y agoEuro NCAP etc. seem to classify Teslas as (some of) the safest vehicles on roads. https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model+y/46618 https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model+y/46618 Same for NHTSA: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2022/TESLA/MODEL%2525203/4%252520DR/RWD https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2022/TESLA/MODEL%2525203/4%252...

- vardump 4y agoTesla was the top one also in avoiding accidents. See Euro NCAP test.

- esalman 4y agoThat's really not the point. Because of the FSD false promises, Tesla encourages dangerous behavior from drivers. I don't want to be next to a Tesla driving in autonomous mode while it's driver at the wheel is not paying attention to me.
