These numbers raise good points. And a lot of historical Tesla bull "FSD vs human" comparisons overlook the fact that the 'average driver' includes - 18 year old males, 75 year old seniors, drunk, high, driving while texting, etc. This is why the accident stats look something like - a whole lot of people that get in 1 crash per decade or two, and a small slice of people that get in 4 accidents per year.
Simply not being any of those things makes you a 10-100x driver by comparison to the average. So buying FSD or getting in a RoboTaxi that is claimed to be "just as good as the average human" is actually quite bad.
Oh and of course this is all flagged now because Elon is god here.
- xnx 2y ago> Simply not being any of those things makes you a 10-100x driver by comparison to the average. Good points. I wonder if the most accurate comparison is rideshare drivers? I don't know how their safety fits overall, but they are far too dangerous drivers for my taste.
- steveBK123 2y agoRideshare drivers aren't even that bad against the general population. Think about it- if they were so bad, it would be an expensive & time consuming problem to constantly be dealing with insurance and/or fixing out of pocket their wrecked cars!
- theahura 2y agoO did it get flagged? I was wondering! I saw this was doing numbers through substack while I was at dinner and then it suddenly seemed to stop EDIT: lol looks like it got flagged again
- steveBK123 2y agoTypical, anything critical of Elon Inc gets flagged & re-flagged enough to break up discussion. Self driving is a real technical problem in the HN domain that is worthy of discussion. Seeing it censored here the same it as on X is disheartening in terms of the entire VC industrial complex omertà.
