Who would have thought that turning your life over to a set of rules some engineers wrote in a room somewhere wasn’t a good idea?

Everytime I drive past this barrier, my Tesla autopilot wants to drive into it. See, just like this . . . crash!

An Apple Engineer? I would presume he should have been aware of the limitations of software and been more skeptical. I would never rely on autopilot...

That location is a tricky freeway intersection with lots of cross traffic and commuter traffic
No one should ever use Auto pilot in that area

Sounds like a cruise ship self steering itself to a port full of the coronavirus.

““Walter said the car would veer toward the barrier in the mornings when he went to work,””

So why did he keep using it??

“Records from an iPhone recovered from the crash site showed that Huang may have been using it before the accident. Records obtained from AT&T showed that data had been used while the vehicle was in motion, but the source of the transmissions couldn’t be determined, the NTSB wrote. One transmission was less than a minute before the crash.”

So the autopilot is great, provided you stay awake and alert, you avoid distractions, you are sober, and ready to react to things in an instant.

Remind me again of the reason you need an autopilot?
