I think you're mistaken. I've previously put proper widespread autonomous driving adoption at after 2037 but before 2067, I've never doubted that it's difficult... this dipshit on the other hand,
was faking videos to convince people it was easy, before finally admitting it wasn't.
I wouldn't disagree, but I'd also say full self driving can't ONLY be done with user data. Over reliance on probability models will give a false impression of deductive ability. You can call this guy out for not paying attention or whatever, but 22.5 Billion miles of training and this guy's car didn't realise it had to stop despite a massive object, a barrier with lights and a stop line being in the way, that is
fundamental, there's no excuse for that... if you want to put
liability on him then fine - but the system still failed, it failed in an unsafe manner, and him not paying attention doesn't negate that.
Don't quote Elon. By this time , he is on another world (smoking or taking some pills )
Sometimes he acts like a kid , others like a moron , mostly normal...This is Elon. Take it as it is.
For me , personally , I have absolutely nothing to say against him. He is one of the very few who kept the prices of the cars at a pretty low price. Delivers many things , even if he is bonkers in others.
And mostly , he is NOT the only guy in that company , you know?
People think at him like every possible thing that happens at Tesla it is just his fault.
He has a massive team , board , directors , engineers , chiefs , etc etc etc. He can't be present in every decision made at Tesla .
By the way , here is a free trick I will share with you:
When you see a article online , and you have 2-3 extra minutes available , click on the publisher/author , to see his other articles.
Why am I saying that?
Because this days , most media is over paid by "the big" . And I always take any "news" with a grain of salt .
This Andrew J Hawkins , if you click on his name ( purple ) , you will see that he has ONLY bad articles about Tesla , like he has some sort of vendetta with them .
Do you know how many articles he wrote about Tesla in the PAST MONTH ?
21 ! And absolutely NONE of them are positive
Would you call that a obsession?
