Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day
Red_October@lemmy.world 1 day agoYou seem to have missed the point. Whether or not you think that would be an easy job, the whole reason you’d be there is to be the one that takes all the blame when the autopilot kills someone. It will be your name, your face, every single record of your past mistakes getting blasted on the news and in court because Elon’s shitty vanity project finally killed a real child instead of a test dummy. You’ll be the one having to explain to a grieving family just how hard it is to actually pay complete attention every moment of every day, when all you’ve had to do before is just sit there.

How about you pay attention and PREVENT the autopilot from killing someone? Like it’s your job to do?

This is sarcasm, right?

Expecting people to be able to behave like machines is generally the attitude that leads to crash investigations.

Behave like machines? Wtf are you on about? It’s paying attention and preventing accidents. Like a train conductor does. Or a lifeguard. Or a security guard. I get the tesla hate, but this is ridiculous.

Lifeguards have very short periods of diligence before they take mandatory breaks. Train conductors operate on grade separated infrastructure. Security Guards do not have to take split second action or die.
Putting a warm body in a mind-numbing situation and requiring split second response to a life or death situation at a random time is a recipe for failure.
