What kind of work does Tesla do? I bet it makes a ton of money.
That technology is pretty badass though.

Could be a bitch to find where your car decided to park itself, huh?

If you say so. I said it could be.

I wonder how many more people are going to get killed with this half-baked technology? Musk is real big on hyping germs of ideas as finished products. Industry experts estimate 10-15 years before fully autonomous vehicles are perfected to the extent that they are ready for public use.
Two have died so far in autonomous Tesla vehicles. A person would have to be nuts to let one of these things drive them around at this time.

For only being there for "legal reasons", he seemed quite nervous.

3 million trucker baws making average of $65000 a year on notice :(

At the same time how many people have died because of people just being stupid drivers texting, distracted, drunk, etc. don't get me wrong, I couldn't just let one drive me around but when the technology gets there, it might be better than human drivers.

How many people die in cars that aren't using this technology?
Hint: it's ALOT more

Will Tesla represent himself in court when I sue him for hitting me?
Posted on 4/14/17 at 7:29 am to TigerJeff
Probably not since he's been dead for 74 years

in how many million miles of driving? Even taking the obviously smaller sample size than miles of driving by people in the same time period, the ratio of number of deaths per mile of driving is dramatically lower for Tesla auto pilot than people.

And? Is your suggestion that this technology, unlike all others before it, should be completely without a death toll as it improves? How many people died as the internal combustion engine was perfected and as automobiles began to take over for horse drawn carriages?

That sounds fricking amazing...are you kidding with this shite? In 2014, over 32,000 Americans died in highway related fatalities and who knows how many injured and seriously at that. Drunk and impaired driving in not stopping...people are becoming like the frickheads in the movie Wall-E in terms of their inability to stop looking at a screen even while driving so that's going to start being an even bigger reason for crashes than DUI...and lest we forget most people are just assholes and suck and being both good at driving or being courteous. Driverless cars not only sound fantastic but NEARLY MANDATORY given how precarious it really is when you stop and think about how fricking dangerous it is to be on the road with other apes trying to drive.
The real problem will undoubtedly be people like yourself who, despite what will ultimately be a HUGE reduction in highway deaths will want to shut the industry down when 100 people die a year in crashes when everything is automated instead of seeing it as a reduction of 31,900 deaths each year.
Unreal...
Now...if you want to say you enjoy driving and would miss it, yeah...I'd agree. I love driving...but as someone who has lived with the result of a family member's auto accident from way back in 1980, you're god damned right I'm eager to have this become the norm. How anyone that drives currently and watches in terror as people slide into your lane as they are reading their phone instead of looking at the road could be badmouthing a tech that could prevent these inevitable crashes from happening makes no sense at all,

I don't even feel bad. I hate their driving habits. They are a lot of the causes of traffic. Impede traffic, merging into lanes they don't need to be in, slow acceleration, tear up the road....... On and on.

You just made this up, unless you've got a link.
