“It’s obviously fairly awful of those people to knowingly circumvent safety systems of something that they are aware is already unsafe” - you have never driven

“It’s obviously fairly awful of those people to knowingly circumvent safety systems of something that they are aware is already unsafe” - you have never driven through west Texas. Straight, flat, perfect visibility for miles, and very little traffic. As long as you’re not driving into the sunrise or sunset, Tesla can handle it well.
- olliej 3y agoTesla advertises that they can handle vastly more than that, and allows you to use their self driving in those different environments. The issue isn't that there are situations it can handle. The problem is that it routinely cannot, and the "driver must always be fully aware and ready to take control with no advance warning" is used purely to shift liability for failings in their own product. I guess a good equivalent would be to imagine you have ABS brakes, but then one day you have to brake suddenly, and the ABS fails and they lock. The Tesla model would be to say "if the ABS system fails during emergency braking you are required to take over, and you can't sue us if this happens and causes an accident"
