The current controversy in San Francisco is that a Waymo allegedly killed a cat.
“Unless you were 100% confident (and nothing less will do) that Tesla will self-drive you safely across the country…”
It doesn’t have to be 100%. It only has to be better than you.
I’m not certain of the value here. Unless you were 100% confident (and nothing less will do) that Tesla will self-drive you safely across the country, don’t you still have to sit behind the wheel and give it your full attention in case something goes wrong.
Any driver who is 100% confident they can safely drive across country is self-deluding.
Humans are fallible. A self driving car does not have to be infallible. It only needs to be less fallible than human drivers, on average.
Notice: this version of Tesla’s self driving software is already obsolete, and superseded by later versions.
