That’s not the point I was trying to make with the thread. To be honest I’d love to get to the stage where all driving was automated as in the UK alone 1,700 people are killed each year along with a further 150,000 injured by human drivers every year. That is a stat that should be pretty easy to improve upon.
The thing I found interesting in the video was the human psychology aspect highlighted by Jessa (I think she is spot on here) and Louis highlights the fact this is clearly only a beta-level product and Tesla’s advertising is highly dodgy. The way the collision detection failed is highly interesting; the car simply didn’t seem to see a deer, which for those who have little sympathy for animals, is a wheelchair-user/child in push-chair-sized item moving onto the road. There was no evasive action at all despite there being no vehicles behind, in front or ahead on the road. No attempt to break. No attempt at lane change (opposing lane was entirely free). I do advise folk to watch the videos, they each make their point well and none of this is a pro/anti-autopilot argument. They both own Teslas and both use the feature.
