i suppose it’s a “major achievement” when we make something cheap that also makes roads more dangerous for humans? I guess that’s true if we view the world through a financial lens. Otherwise no it’s not impressive IMO. Especially with their very very unethical advertising of it, calling it “full self driving” and “autopilot”. Full self driving is something like waymo.

How does it make roads more dangerous for humans? It requires the driver to be paying attention. If drivers are driving distracted, that’s not a problem with any car, it’s a problem with humans wanting to look at their phone. At least the Tesla is monitoring people’s eyes to try to prevent them from distracted driving.

Your average consumer does not. That is the problem.

    What does Musk have anything to do with this topic? He says nonsense all the time. > this software is fine in a responsible drivers hands that really gets the limitations of the software. Your average consumer does not. That is the problem. The software is fine in any non distracted driver’s hands. The distracted driver part of the equation has nothing to do with Tesla, that was going to happen anyway. At least a Tesla watches people’s eyes to prevent distracted driving. How is that worse than other cars that do not watch people’s eyes?
