This seems like a waste of everyone's time. Tesla should market the vehicles as 'advanced driver assist', and authorities should let them do pretty much whatever they like as long as Tesla cars are killing fewer people per mile than competitors.
- marcinzm 3y ago>Tesla cars are killing fewer people per mile than competitors NHTSA data doesn't indicate so from what I read. Assuming by competitor you mean a recent car equipped with a competitors driver assist technology.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoCompetitor also means the average vehicle as driven by people who are on their phones. The roads have become more dangerous as we see in the data.
- mrpopo 3y agoContext matters in roadkill statistics. If a human driver risks causing more accidents on the highway when distracted and tired, a driving assistant risks causing more accidents in the city streets where there are more opportunities for failure. Also, roadkill becomes a legal case. You need someone to be legally responsible. Driving assistants blur these lines. It's not just a "killing fewer people per mile" problem (which would also have a huge causation/correlation issue).
