Current Events > Tesla totaled after full self driving mode steers car into highway guard rail

(+) Yeah! (+)

Damn wtf. And self driving trucks supposed to be a thing in a decade?

I'm wondering if self-driving cars will really work in a world where not every car is self-driving. I feel like a mix of human and self-driving vehicles won't be a smooth combination.

Mark my words. Will not happen within that time frame. Been saying it for years. Not until they clear up the insurance issue that nobody can settle. It may very happen in the distant future but its not happening anytime soon.

It's gonna have to kill a few people for someone to step up & do something with this clearly not working thing.

The roads themselves and infrastructure are not equipped for it. We'll need a nation wide system like in the iRobot movie or the Total Recall remake. Basically every car needs to be "smart", roads need to be completely built around them, communication needs to be complete coverage of every drivable road, there's alot that needs to happen. Self driving vehicles like you see in movies are still science fiction.

Have you seen the state of infrastructure and the funding for it?

That ain't happening.

Politicians ALWAYS love gutting infrastructure budgets for their pet projects the moment the public isn't looking.

this self-driving nonsense is dangerous and unnecessary
musk's ego stroking is going to cost lives

It's so advanced it can even decide when you need a new Tesla

Here's a site that tracks all deaths via Tesla's.

He's just runaway and marketing Mobile Eye's technology as something that it's not. The fact that he chose to market it as self driving is why mobile eye broke ties with Tesla in the first place.

It already has. They just keep throwing customers under the bus saying they did something wrong but evidence is somewhat sketchy and they're dead so they can't really advocate for themselves.

Statistically speaking, would it not still be safer to drive autopilot than actual people driving?

To speak statistically, you have to have statistics/data. Im not aware of Tesla sharing any of their data with the public so thats really pure conjecture.

They still don't work when snow obscures the lane lines. So FSD is out of the question for winter states.

Would you trust the machine to ID a perp with visual recognition over your ability to ID a perp in person using your own eyes?

Remember, liability is on you if anything goes wrong and you get the wrong guy.

Statistically, it is safer. Full self driving is not currently anywhere near ready for prime time, but there are multiple warnings about that. It is only rolled out to a small portion of the fleet at this time.

The basic autopilot on highways is really great, though. It's definitely not anywhere near perfect, though, which is why you're repeatedly told to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention when you use it.

What's the point of autopilot if you have to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention? It takes the same effort and attention as just driving yourself.
