Autopilot is terrible and the fact that they advertise it as a reputable system is abhorrent. And yes, I own a tesla.
Comment on Tesla Under Investigation After Fatal Crash May Have Involved Autopilot System, Report Says

Not a fan of Tesla or Musk, but I think it always bears repeating in these conversations that AI driving will be much safer than human driving if it isn’t already.
Unfortunately, accidents will happen, but when an accident happens with an AI, ALL the other AI’s get to learn from that failure going forward.
I’m very happy that in my old age, I’ll have some future version of this driving me around… or more likely, taking the wheel from me if I do something stupid.

“This thing that does not exist and nobody has any idea how to make it” will totally be safer than human driving.
You know what is safer than human driving and we know how to make? Trains.

I’m still waiting for my train from LA to SF. It’s been in the works since I was in college. I’ve already graduated, had multiple jobs, early retired, and there’s still no sign of it.

I believe statistically FSD is already better driver than a human. Ofcourse there are situations that confuse the AI and it makes errors a human wouldn’t but this kind of stuff gets slowly ironed out over time. People also seem to forget that human drivers do pretty fucking stupid mistakes too. Enough so that 40000 of them die every ear in US alone. 100% safety is probably impossible to achieve and 99.99% safety means 33000 accidents per year.
It’s easy to pick on Tesla due to the CEO being quite unpopular so every time a Tesla does something it’s not supposed to it gets so wide media attention that it seems way more common that it really is.
Nevertheless self driving cars are here to stay and there will be time when wanting to drive by yourself will be considered irresponsible and unsafe. And I say this as someone with zero interest in owning such car.

AI driving will probably be safer one day, but there is no real data today that demonstrates its current state is. At the same time we’re getting lots of examples where it fails at the most basic stuff.

AI driving is only as good as it’s sensors.
While most other companies use LIDAR, Musk switched to video cameras because it’s cheaper.
Which is why Tesla “FSD” is worse than competitors.
