Not like this is happening 24/7 30,000 retards die every year driving. 1 happened to have been in a tesla with a much less capable auto pilot
Eh, I think that early fatality was a fluke. You're absolutely right that it's not the norm, and I'm not saying it is.

I just didn't think the .gov was there yet in terms of regulations. Letting vehicles drive themselves entirely is a gray area in most states.
I think they are letting this slide for now because there simply haven't been enough fatalities. And it isn't exactly distinguishable from radar cruise

With tesla you HAVE to be in the drivers seat, and occasionally it prompts you to put your hands on the wheel. So it isn't exactly like you can bang a whore in the back seat as your tesla drives you from stripclub to stripclub

The latest tech just came out, the dead one (only one fatality) was not equipped to do as such.
Full Self-Driving Capability
Build upon Enhanced Autopilot and order Full Self-Driving Capability on your Tesla. This doubles the number of active cameras from four to eight, enabling full self-driving in almost all circumstances, at what we believe will be a probability of safety at least twice as good as the average human driver. The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat. For Superchargers that have automatic charge connection enabled, you will not even need to plug in your vehicle.

All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go. If you don’t say anything, the car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination or just home if nothing is on the calendar. Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed. When you arrive at your destination, simply step out at the entrance and your car will enter park seek mode, automatically search for a spot and park itself. A tap on your phone summons it back to you.
Does that mean that we can expect these robo-Teslas to kill about 16,000 people per year then? How will the public feel about that?

Oh I agree. I just meant that I wondered what public perception would be. Would the morans focus on 16k lives saved or the fact that Cyberdyne Motors is killing 16k innocents?

I think the number of Cyberdyne victims will be FAR lower than the average drives... I am willing to bet it will be 1/10th if every car is autonomous, and that shit is continuously improving to. Unlike the humans.

Its coming but the effort must be coherent and enforceable for insurance and liability etc. This entire autonomous notion has a long way to go and the infrastructure to support it is hardly ready both in terms of insurance/legal and hardware etc. Oh yea there are 50 fkn states with all kinds of good ideas about how they should do it. Frankly its time for a national driving system when they decide to take us out of the loop and bring in the tech to save all our asses. The rules must be the same from sea to shining poverty strewn sea.

Again, agreed, but my question has to do with perception, not facts. It's a Trump world now, buddy, where feelings > facts.

Yea, no hate. I think it's damned :impressive:

Problem is, when anyone dies, the media will blow it way out of proportion like usually. All the :derp: s in the world will demand for their destruction, completely ignoring any form of statistics that prove they're much safer. It's the way our stupid world works now.

Although, I'd argue that it's not a new phenomenon. When 3 point seat belts were mandated there were troglodytes that argued they were unsafe because they might prevent you from quickly exiting a burning car. Perhaps, but they ignored the mountain of evidence of all the lives saved by people being buckled in.

For some odd reason professional football players keep not using seat belts, crashing and being ejected out of their cars ruining their careers.

I could never understand that... I mean the chime and warning light alone would make it annoying enough for me to do.

You get the freedom of choice still, to drive and or to have the car drive you.

Personally I'd love a crash prevention system that stops for me if I am not paying enough attention. I think those should be mandatory and would easily prevent 40% of all accidents

Morans

Also throw in there people bitching about mandatory back up cameras that have never used one. Then they use one and are like oh shit this is helpful af.

People are horrible drivers man. I've been rear ended 3 times in the GTI, all from drivers simply not paying any attention to what they were doing.

I almost get run over daily walking the dog. From lazy fucks not stopping at stop signs and rolling through intersections.

Actually had one bitch yell at me that it's my fault for her almost running me over because she's driving a car and I should watch out.

People like this should lose their licenses.

I've actually gotten to the point that if I see Mr. McSlammybrakes behind me riding my ass and nose diving hard I pull over and let him pass. Let him rear end someone else.

Yep been there for years. I let tailgaters and overly aggressive drivers pass me.

To the infuriation of my passengers usually.

Ppl are so strange sometimes when it comes to driving.
