Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals
Zink@programming.dev 10 months agoYeah it adds more capabilities for sure. But if you are on a moderate to high speed road where autopilot works fine, then is the control logic any different?
Obviously there are various tours of accidents that autopilot would never get the chance to cause, like maybe turning right at an intersection and hitting a pedestrian. But do they act differently on a main road where teslas have done things like run into tractor trailers?

The one that hit a tractor trailer was years ago. They are far better now, specifically they see low contrast stuff now and that’s on autopilot. The biggest difference to the user will be the ability to have hands off the controls.
Other accidents it won’t have on those roads include falling asleep and running off the road, or being surprised by someone braking ahead and running into them
I’m sure it will be worse than humans around animals on the road. I wonder if it will see a wombat before it hits it.
