Do you agree that without "autopilot" this incident would not have happened?
- ceejayoz 2y agoI don't think there's any way of knowing that for sure. People look at their phones while driving with and without autopilot.
- deely3 2y agoWhat about this current incident? In your opinion?
- ceejayoz 2y agoBarring a time machine, we've very little way to know when it comes to one specific incident. Again, people distracted by their cell phones kill people on a very regular basis in vehicles without autopilot. If we had better aggregate stats we could compute the statistical likelihood of it, but this stuff isn't tracked anywhere near as closely or completely as, say, aircraft accidents. I don't trust Tesla's self-reported cherry-picked stats.
