The family of the first person killed by that will know who to sue for a punitive trillion dollars.
- twostorytower 1y agoWould at least like to use it for stop and go traffic, which is about the only thing I trust FSD for.
- kevincrane 1y agoJust pull over if you have things to text that can’t wait
- SoftTalker 1y agoActually just wait. Pulling over on a busy road creates its own hazards.
- danans 1y ago> Would at least like to use it for stop and go traffic, which is about the only thing I trust FSD for. Depends on the type of stop and go driving. Crawling along at 15mph, sure. But the most dangerous driving scenario - whether human or machine is the driver - is a scenario with large variations in speed between vehicles and also limited visibility. For example suddenly encountering a traffic jam that starts around a blind corner.
- jfoster 1y agoDangerous for some humans. If a self-driving system is taking a blind corner, I would expect it to be approaching it at a more appropriate speed.
- ckocagil 1y agoThat's also the most tiresome part of driving and has the least risk due to low speeds. Easy win for FSD. But for all other cases it becomes a complicated ethical question.
- dzhiurgis 1y agoSorry, but disabling autopilot/FSD to use your phone is much crazier.
