ha, naw. they only need to be better than humans. if the computers kill 10% less people, its a win. unless you want those 10% dead for some reason..
If that's the metric we are really aiming for 0 cars would be key then right? All trains and bikes and shit why we even bothering with this tech
chasing perfect in lieu of the good is not how progress is ever made. its short-sighted, and honestly.. stupid.
if we only ever attempted to create perfect things nothing would ever get created.
True, but also given limited resources good public transit is just a better use of resources
i agree public transport is where its at.
reality and logistics show we will need both here in the u.s. due to societal and resource constraints.
Nope, not a legit argument. Augmented human driving is way safer than autonomous cars. Fun fact, the half assed approach to autonomy used in Tesla's are pretty shit, even by human standards.
Augmented driver assistance systems such as accident avoidance, preemptive braking and seatbelt tensioning systems still outperform current generation "fully" autonomous cars. The fact that we let billionaires develop their tech, for profit, in production (on the road), with a direct cost to human life, should always be a problem.
If he really wants to change the world, pay for the damn R&D, then deploy to the roads.
luckily we can do more than one thing at a time implementing where each makes the most sense.
everyone keeps saying 'no! its this one thing or dont bother!' no, thats not how progress is made.
im not arguing for tesla, tesla is objectively garbage.
