at least a computer driven car will hit the brakes before it hits something. unlike an illegal truck driver.
Yes, it seems the potential to avoid actual human interaction and emotional connection with in person kindnesses are indeed becoming endless.
Welcome to the world of Wall-E.
Happy that you like your Tesla, though.
This challenge could be mitigated considerably with a wireless beacon, reflector, Maps alert, or other indicator being an element of closure signage. Of course, that puts responsibility on government actors to effect said notification, and they don't want the liability.
If we had stopped the far-left trannies from destroying Tesla, we wouldn’t be worrying about the price of oil right now.
The potentials for utility become endless.
Consider what this means for blind people, for all people who cannot drive for one reason or another. For people who need to spend their time more productively than driving.
It will be like having a 24/7 chauffeur who never gets tired, never gossips, never has family problems, and only costs a hundred dollars a month.
It will make cross country driving competitive with airline tickets. 24 hours to travel 1500 miles, arriving fresh, with all your gear and with a vehicle. Take off anytime, arrive with a full nights sleep and a full day’s work done online.
People had a hard time with Tesla getting massive federal and state subsidies, tax breaks, government mandates on how many EVs must be built, CO2 offsets, or laws that only allow EVs to operate in certain areas...
It’s not the governments role to “shape the market,” and have a hand on the consumers head guiding them through the decision of what vehicle they should buy.
On a personal note: if I were in Musk’s shoes, I too would act in the best interests of Tesla and maximize what I can hammer out of government for my business, capitalizing on much of the green and environmental nonsense.
Ask most “Musk haters” what they think about Space-X, and you’ll hear a love story.
Level 4 should also require a module that listens to every suggestion given it by any and all women riding in the car, even if more than one.
My wife and her mother-in-law would insist on this module.
You can see it coming: Driverless delivery trucks, with one of Elon’s robots in the back which can pick up a box and walk it to your door. All of those deliveries moving from warehouse to your door, with no human involved. Not happening quite yet, but you can see it coming.
This isn't about Tesla.
It's about the trolley problem.
From 2017 and still an issue...
I’d be curious to see what happens the first time Tesla faces a personal injury lawsuit over this technology.
The benefits for the elderly—who should not be driving but want the benefits of driving—are immense.
Meanwhile I drive my old clunker.
When the self driving cars are available in my area then my clunker goes into the trash heap.
That is a lot of Muslims who will not have work, because this technology will be adopted quickly all across North America if it works as well as they hope.
“self-certified”
What could possibly go wrong?
Our son bought a Tesla when they first came out. He upgrades the software. Right now he can’t totally let it drive itself but it mostly does. Very cool. Very wonderful ride.
I will NEVER own a vehicle that can be programed from anywhere via bluetooth....”ONSTAR” was GM’s initial entry into this Bull__t. When the time arises I will spend the money and get another older Honda/Ford/Chevy/Chrysler etc... from 2004 -1960....Honestly look at the garbage they are producing now. No right to repair without subscriptions and if software is transmitted to your vehicle for “UPDATES” then any system within (YOUR ???) vehicle can be controlled by someone other than you. I’ll pass.
My Tesla has saved me from two accidents in the past eight months when it could see a vehicle that was behind my line of vision that was about to sideswipe me on the interstate.
They can’t possibly have addressed every possible weather and traffic-related condition. Heck, Waymo just pulled their vehicles in recent weeks because one of their self-driving vehicles drove right into a flooded area. Imagine one of their taxi vehicles doing that with people inside.
“ self-certifying”
How does that work? Did Tesla AI certify itself?
Can I self-certify as a Mensa genius?
self-certified................
If a lot of them were in my area, I would probably sell my two vehicles that are around 10 years old and 10,000 miles on each of them. No insurance or upkeep. Yes, retired and getting near 80 years old.
