A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

The car made a fatal decision faster than any human could possibly correct it. Tesla’s idea that drivers can “supervise” these systems is, at this point, nothing more than a legal loophole.

What I don't get is how this false advertising for years hasn't caused Tesla bankruptcy already?

HAL9000 had Oh Clementine!

Has Tesla been training their AI with the lumberjack song?

It got the most recent update, and thought a tunnel was a wall.

Took me a second to get it, but that's brilliant.
I wonder if there might even be some truth to it?

It's full self-driving, doesn't need roads. Put into wrong car.

Don't drive Tesla

I have visions of Elon sitting in his lair, stroking his cat, and using his laptop to cause this crash. /s

That tree cast shade on his brand.

It had to go.

Why would you inflict that guy on a poor innocent kitty?

Why someone will be a passenger in self-driving vehicle? They know that they are a test subjects, part of a "Cartrial" (or whatever should be called)? Self-Driving is not reliable and not necessery. Too much money is invested in something that is "Low priority to have". There are prefectly fast and saf self-driving solutions like High-speed Trains.

I have no idea, I guess they have a lot more confidence in self driving (ESPECIALLY Tesla) than I do.

"I'm confident that Save full self driving (SFSD) will be ready next year"

But does it do it less often than humans?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm gonna answer your question with a question, as I don't have your answer. When a human wrecks up it's their fault. Who's fault is it when something like this happens? Should ut still be the person in the driver's seat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

No idea how that will turn out. Fully auto, but you have to maintain the vehicle and ensure it's road worthy as the owner.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

A good point, but I'm not sure that's where the bar is. How does it compare to other self-driving systems that have lidar, for instance?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Depends on the issue at hand. To get these approved and widespread, better than humans may be the bar.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I have done it zero times, and I am definitely a Human man.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Can confirm, also a human and never caused a car crash

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

you do get this wrong, its a flying car
