Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits
Aeao@lemmy.world 1 day agoWe ban dangerous things people like all the time.
Want to know what I like? Cocaine. Lots of people loved cocaine. They banned it.
People threw a fit when they made drunk driving illegal too. They still made it illegal.
People loved asbestos as well, they banned that.
You can’t even sell milk directly from a cow in most states because of the dangers. Raw milk is banned.
People are fighting tooth in nail to try to re-legalize weed lol and it’s a huge uphill battle.
We ban old things all the time regardless of how well liked they are.
“Too many emergency situations require a human” not really as it would relate to driving… computers have much faster reflexes than a human. They will drive better. So what emergency are you thinking of? Car breaking down? Most people can’t fix thier own car anyway. The only change will be the car calling a tow truck instead of you.

You aren’t on a road and the car is confused about how to move around. You are now stranded because you can’t drive the car. I have yet to see any self-driving car even attempt to be reasonable in off-road driving.
Your buddy’s cabin in the woods, grass parking at a venue, natural disaster and the road is gone, a country driveway, getting into your backyard with the shit your bought at home depot, etc, etc.

“Yet” - you
Let’s explain it this way.
You are driving not on the road and our confused about why you are. You are now stranded even though you are driving yourself.
See. The argument of “well the computer could get confused” people get confused all the time.
And again you said “yet” and that’s my whole point. It’s getting there. It’s only a matter of time before the computer can get to your buddies house quicker and better than you. And will probably be able to scan and avoid loose mud and snow so you don’t destroy your buddies lawn when you get stuck.
If I was that buddy of yours it would only be a matter of time before I make you park your personal driving car at the gate and walk up like how people don’t wear shoes in thier house. Don’t destroy my yard with your messy personal driving skills. Let the computer find you a place to park.
