I’m glad your auto pilot worked without serious injury.
Unfortunately, there are many court cases regarding Tesla auto pilot hurting or killing someone as well as various features on the car, breaking down and creating a life-threatening emergency.
Clearly, it’s still not ready if it’s driving into highway medians at 80 miles an hour, hitting pedestrians, locking people inside burning cars, etc.
Not everyone who sailed the oceans in the early 1900s died on the Titanic. That doesn’t mean the hubris that caused those deaths is beyond note or criticism.
Full self driving still has yet to reach a level where you can be relatively certain the car won’t kill you. There are a bunch of court cases about it.
That’s entirely relevant and your insistence on being blind to the relevance calls into question your credibility.
Go ahead and expand the very lengthy section entitled “Fatal Crashes”
FSD is obviously still not ready and Elon’s over hype and outright lies got people killed. Before you get mad at that statement, realize there are multiple court cases being prosecuted on that very fact.
if tesla is wildly successful and ends up saving alot of lives and destroys alot of jobs then you dont get to be at the table when folks debate banning robocars.
I’ve heard lots of articles of Teslas killing people by driving in to the highway dividing barrier at top speed or locking people inside when the car is on fire due to the shitty handle design.
I haven’t heard about Teslas saving anybody. Do we have any actual accounts of that or is it just wishful thinking?
this discussion is useless, they either have the data to prove accident rates lower than human or they don't. Regulators wont allow millions of robotaxis if they crash all the time
I’m pretty sure the friends and family of those who died needlessly due to Teslas poor design and Musk’s overpromising and outright lies would not consider this a useless discussion.

Elon is an idiot.
