Tesla braces for its first trial involving Autopilot fatality
Tesla Inc is set to defend itself for the first time at trial against allegations that failure of its Autopilot driver assistant feature led to death, in what will likely be a major test of Chief Executive Elon Musk's assertions about the technology.

You're viewing part of a thread.
There are very strict regulations around what is allowed to be in the streets and what isn't. This is what protects us from sloppy companies releasing unsafe stuff in the streets.
Driver assist features like the Autopilot are operating in a regulatory grey zone. The regulation has not caught up with technology and this allows companies like Tesla to release unsafe software in the streets, killing people.
Exactly. Driver assist features. These aren't something to be blindly relied on and everyone knows this and the vehicle will remind you. Every crash is fault of the driver - not the system.
Now if you don't mind showing me the data that's "piling up is showing that Autopilot is deadly"
Exactly. Driver assist features.
Except Tesla isn't selling them as such. Theid advertisement videos as early as 2016 say "the driver is not necessary, the car is driving itself". This is false marketing in its purest and simplest form: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jan/17/tesla-self-driving-video-staged-testimony-senior-engineer
I'm still waiting for the data that you said is piling up. You also did not specify what number of accidents you find acceptable for a self driving system. It's almost like you're trying to evade my questions..
Give me a breakn The WaPo article is linked above. Also, when it comes to safety, the burden of proof is on those arguing that something is safe.
If there's piles of data it shouldn't be difficult to prove it's unsafe.
You still haven't even specified what is considered safe.
Stop talking nonsense. The anecdotes that are piling up clearly indicate there is a problem with Tesla's autopilot.
It's in the weapon article you were already linked, you just keep choosing to ignore it. Another user on my blocked list.
Do you think Tesla would get sued if the data wasn't piling up?
