I don’t want to sit in a taxi that’s remote controlled by someone who has low stakes (their body not in the way of harm). There will be a number of accidents attached to the self driving mechanism, so I can make an informed decision, but there won’t be such a number for the person taking over remotely.

Really? You're surprised that I don't want to get in a vehicle driven by Greg in Florida while he's scratching his nuts? ... Or Javinder in India while he's got a side eye on how his cricket bet is going?

Count me out. This is a laughable version of the promised vision.

You'd think that if they can't get a reliable self driving car given how much training data they must currently have, perhaps they need to try a different strategy.

More compute.

Yes I learned that too a while ago. If you say anything slightly positive about Tesla, you'll be downvoted into oblivion. I can't wait for the day for this US/Western tribalism to cool down and we can have substantive discussions again.
