Making Tesla criminally liable (in a tangible, punitive sense, not just a $5000 fine per infraction) for every instance of an individual being directly harmed by a Tesla's self-driving mode would be a huge win for society as a whole, but Tesla and their supporters and apologists seem to have this idea that "hey, it's software, it's buggy but we'll fix it and iterate and then it'll be great" without realizing that we're not just crashing and losing the last ten minutes of someone's essay, we're crashing and killing human beings.
It would be an uphill battle for sure, and that's incredibly depressing.
- quonn 3y agoThe autopilot is adaptive cruise control + lane keeping. It’s abundantly clear and on top of this plenty of other cars have both features. The only difference is that the wheel is kept more steady. Why would you make the manufacturer liable for this?
- Xylakant 3y ago> As the recall mentioned above highlights, it was too easy for drivers to leave Tesla's Autopilot on its own and completely relinquish control. (From the top post). If other manufacturers show the same flaw, make the liable, too.
- entrox 3y agoFor marketing it as „autopilot“ and not „adaptive cruise control“ like every other manufacturer.
