Uh... why? Shouldn't the goal be to be safer than people?
Basically that's just bad engineering: If your argument is not to deploy an existing system that is better than the current installed base because some other technique might be better still, you are harming your metric (safety) and not helping.
- hackerlight 2y agoI'm talking about robotaxis. There is no safety data available for vision-only robotaxis. It's a hypothetical system that we are speculating about. If Tesla had one that's safer than humans, then yes they should be allowed to deploy it. My argument was that they're making it harder for themselves to exceed that safety threshold by insisting on vision only.
