unrelated, but does anyone else start to panic in autonomous vehicles? Every time I have been in a Tesla with autopilot on I immediately feel dread and and impending doom and I get very anxious.
Maybe autopilot just helps you realize that you are not really fully in control about everything that may happen.
You really have to trust the system but it's making it hard to do so if you are skeptic.
They won't get a firmware update, but they'll get an IM while they're late, won't pull over to reply, and ran you over at full speed instead of trying to slow down.
To be fair, you really can’t compare the performance of drivers to Autopilot, without commenting on Autopilot performance.
Many people’s anxiety with it is exactly due to lack of confidence in Autopilot, and (relatively) more confidence in humans.
I’m not arguing which one is worse, I’m just saying you can’t make the comparison without commenting on the performance of both (by definition, required for making a comparison).
Local roads, same but we are still doing 60 in a 45 with our head glued to our shoulder or holding the phone with one hand in front of our face to facetime. I see this every day.
Get a Tesla, put on AP, take your conf call, at least it will keep you in lane, just nudge the steering wheel every 30 seconds.
I frequently walk now and the number of basic white Tesla close calls is way too high.
There's just no going back from this.
