In most of the video shown, the video shows the driver wasn't paying attention, and the collisions were preventable, Tesla tech not withstanding.
My point since these debates started happening here is that drivers not paying attention or abusing the FSD package, are responsible for collisions the tech gets blamed for.
It seems clear that Tesla's 'self-driving' or Auto-Pilot can't be relied on 100%.
If Tesla is selling that it can, that's obviously wrong.
In those clips of Muskie, I see him as an egocentric condescending SOB.
The woman who's the wife of a victim says the driver has to be aware of the car's limitations.
True.
She didn't say her husband ignored the reminders to take the wheel.
This is where I'm torn/confused.
Counting on tech to do what one doesn't want to do is a mistake, and Tesla as much as says so.
Yet people do this anyway.
This is akin to an attractive nuisance, but with predictably tragic results.
