    The autopilot that tries to mince cyclists? That believe that tram tracks are for Teslas? The autopilot that mistakes the moon for a stop sign?

    No I don’t think a reputable brand whose cars fall apart in the rain, that sell vehicles with internal testing firmware, whose spokesperson does nothing but bluster and lie, that resells defective vehicles, that has more or less weekly recalls, would ever release a car with a dangerous feature.

    The best thing to come out of Tesla is the Finnish bloke who blew his up in anger over the insane quote he was given for repairs.

    just to think that James Cameron thought Terminator would be a walking, talking robot man and not a car

    Not a fan of Tesla or Musk, but I think it always bears repeating in these conversations that AI driving will be much safer than human driving if it isn’t already.

    Unfortunately, accidents will happen, but when an accident happens with an AI, ALL the other AI’s get to learn from that failure going forward.

    I’m very happy that in my old age, I’ll have some future version of this driving me around… or more likely, taking the wheel from me if I do something stupid.

      AI driving is only as good as it’s sensors.

      While most other companies use LIDAR, Musk switched to video cameras because it’s cheaper.

      Which is why Tesla “FSD” is worse than competitors.

      Autopilot is terrible and the fact that they advertise it as a reputable system is abhorrent. And yes, I own a tesla.
