Just a reminder: Tesla also offered Full Self-Driving (FSD) as an upgrade option to EA in 2016.
Here we are, 8 years later and despite flashing crossing lights and the train, it failed to detect "train crossing ahead - stop" situation.
I get their probabilistic approach, but I don't see it passing the regulators.
- rvnx 2y agoPretty sure there is a shared mentality between Tesla and SpaceX: When Starship explodes: "this was a success, we learnt a lot along the way". This is the same here, yes there is an accident, but at the end this was a success because: 1) The accident didn't happen, so the safety measures worked (the "human driver"). 2) Once the fix is deployed, if you look in the long run, over 100 years, it won't happen again, so potentially hundreds of saved lives. And Tesla can claim: "Hey this is the driver's fault anyway". Main difference between SpaceX and Tesla is that it is the user paying at the end of the day.
- mcculley 2y agoSome form of success, yes. “Full Self-Driving”? No. The abuse of language is inexcusable and Tesla should be penalized for the lies.
- PinguTS 2y agoThere is another difference. One is overlooked by professionals. The other one is used by consumers with no knowledge and just trust on what was sold to them. That is the reason why other OEMs test such things with trained professionals before it is released to the general public.
- malka 2y ago> I get their probabilistic approach, but I don't see it passing the regulators. Maybe we whould apply such an approach to the question: `Should Elon Musk be in jail` ? And, as with FSD, since a single bug can cause death, I think we should roll a thousand time, and throw him in jail should a single 'yes' appear.
