So uh, we are all just awaiting the first entirely inevitable fiery field of debris and body parts that will mark the epic failure and lead up to subsequent ban of Tesla’s robotaxi experiment? Yes?

@bloor Alas they have safety drivers in them; they're not _supposed_ to let the fiery field of debris happen.

@penguin42 @bloor Self-driving Teslas are far safer than human drivers in other cars, both for occupants and for other traffic participants, such as bicyclists. I don't know if waving a bloody shirt is going to be effective.

The biggest stupidity for me is the stubborn refusal to use anything more than cameras for sensors, essentially on the basis that “humans drive using only their eyes”. Firstly that’s bullshit; I use my ears too. But secondly, tech exists that humans can use to augment their own faculties. Why would an autonomous vehicle not use the absolutely best that technology has to offer? Madness.

@pro @bloor @penguin42 There are no ‘Self-driving Teslas’. The best Tesla, or any other manufacturer, has achieved is SAE Level 2 - an Advanced Driver Assistance System.Talk of ‘autonomous robotaxis’ is public relations misrepresented as progress.
