Self-driving tech is widely distrusted by the public, and Tesla’s huge Autopilot recall and Cruise’s scandals don’t seem to have helped.

    And I would argue that you would see 10 humans do this same action in the same time you’d see a robot to it once. Humans are horribly inefficient drivers, and eventually, computers will be far superior. I hope to see much better advances in the coming years.

    They need to just… don’t call it “auto pilot” until it actually functions like auto pilot.

      Hahahahahahaha

      Tesla won’t because cameras alone won’t work. The people who have access to lidar and radar as well as mics aren’t anywhere close to universal safe autonomous driving (outside of a predefined/maped location).

      And machine learning is in its infancy right now, it is unpredictable, unreliable in a lot of applications. And don’t even get me started on this stuff operating in any other conditions than bright sunny days.

      I’ve used lane assist (Elantra, Tuscon) and I find it to be terrible in many cases, long turns being the worst.

      Autonomous vehicles in warehouses have just as many issues and nowhere near the variables that a car needs to account for…
