unrelated, but does anyone else start to panic in autonomous vehicles? Every time I have been in a Tesla with autopilot on I immediately feel dread and and impending doom and I get very anxious.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoNo, but this was apparently a thing with some claustrophobics when full self driving elevators were released.
- comboy 3y agoIf that the case, perhaps you should feel that way every time you are near a road. Without commenting on autopilot performance, there are enough drivers who are worse. Maybe autopilot just helps you realize that you are not really fully in control about everything that may happen.
- dncornholio 3y agoOr maybe it's because Autopilot doesn't drive as smooth as a real person and the display shows jagged lines where the road should be. You really have to trust the system but it's making it hard to do so if you are skeptic.
- epups 3y agoI've been driving with other people on the road for years. People might be worse on average but at least they don't get a firmware update that could potentially kill you.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoNo, they just get drunk instead.
- dymk 3y agoPeople absolutely do get erratic for no reason
- b7we5b7a 3y agoIf people are worse on average, on average they'll cause more accidents. They won't get a firmware update, but they'll get an IM while they're late, won't pull over to reply, and ran you over at full speed instead of trying to slow down.
- jader201 3y ago> Without commenting on autopilot performance, there are enough drivers who are worse. To be fair, you really can’t compare the performance of drivers to Autopilot, without commenting on Autopilot performance. Many people’s anxiety with it is exactly due to lack of confidence in Autopilot, and (relatively) more confidence in humans. I’m not arguing which one is worse, I’m just saying you can’t make the comparison without commenting on the performance of both (by definition, required for making a comparison).
- what-the-grump 3y agoI drive a lot. Around here, I trust a tesla with AP on over any driver on the road. Everyone is going 15 over the limit driving with their knees because they are on their phone texting at 80 mph. This is everyday, every time I get on a highway. Local roads, same but we are still doing 60 in a 45 with our head glued to our shoulder or holding the phone with one hand in front of our face to facetime. I see this every day. Get a Tesla, put on AP, take your conf call, at least it will keep you in lane, just nudge the steering wheel every 30 seconds.
- xyst 3y agoNever been in one. But I do get a sense of panic and anxiety seeing some of these Tesla idiots testing this junk in crowded, dense urban areas. I frequently walk now and the number of basic white Tesla close calls is way too high.
- thehappypm 3y agoI mean, half the drivers I see drifting out of the lane are SUVs with a driver on their phone. Autonomous cars make the road safer, not more dangerous, because humans are just so horrible at driving safely.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoI drove 700km this weekend. All I had to do is jiggle the steering wheel a couple of times. There's just no going back from this.
