More proof that Elon is not as genius as he says he is. Well, we can agree genius at manipulating people, and sketching bad truck designs on napkins or whatever that story is.
Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on spec ific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven’t been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states.
Meanwhile Teslas with FSD V12 drives just fine in just about anywhere, including roads that aren’t even mapped.
I can only think of that one video where some guys Tesla desperately wants to veer into oncoming traffic.
There’s always going to be cases when these systems fail. Even with a self driving car that’s 10x safer driver than the best human there’s still going to be 4000 fatal accidents a year just in the US alone. FSD is probably already safer driver than a human. When it fails this generally means that it got stuck somewhere - not that it caused an accident. I haven’t seen the video in question but that probably was an older version or an autopilot, not FSD.
It seems like a good decision then to limit self driving systems to situations where they are less likely to fail.

Even with the horrendous driving skills of some people, that’s a very bold claim without some actual evidence.

It doesn’t make that much difference what Tesla calls their latest beta software update imho. If their autopilot is enough to get you into dangerous situations, how is a system with even less human oversight going to be fundamentally different? I’ll need to see some more critical reviews of this system after years of not delivering on their claims and only rolling features out to select beta testers to maintain plausible deniability.
I didn’t find the specific video of older versions trying really hard to drive into oncoming traffic, though there are plenty. I found one of the FSD beta from 6 months ago though, where it can’t seem to decide which lane is correct.

Autopilot and FSD Beta are two different systems of which autopilot is the less advanced one. There’s only one death ever linked to the use of FSD Beta and that includes the older versions aswell.
The only statistics available regarding the safety of FSD and autopilot are from Tesla itself which one should probably take with a grain of salt but they seem to idicate it being 5x safer than an average American driver.
Then there are ofcourse plenty of independent YouTubers doing videos of putting these systems to test such as AI DRIVR and CYBRLFT who give pretty honest assesments on the strenghts and weaknesess of them.
it achieved sentience and realized it was a piece of shit made by a moron
Good luck!
How long until it’s revealed they’re being driven by 1000 Indians like we recently did with Amazons “staffless” stores
We have this shit but apparently autonomous trollies are too hard
