Auto pilot beta? People are willing to test betas for cars? Are you insane? Insurance is going to have a field day.

What bothers me is, I have to drive on the road with people running some braindead Elon Musk software?

Have you seen how humans drive? Its not a very high bar to do better.

From what i read, Auto Pilot (AP) is just to keep u on your lane while Full Self Driving (FSD) just switches lanes into oncoming traffic.

Even better, several people have died using it or killed someone else. It also has a long history of driving underneath semi truck trailers. Only Europe was smart enough to ban this garbage.

The craziest part of the article is just how much effort the author put into collecting data and filing feedback and really really hoping that Tesla could pull the videos (they can), then went on to actively try and succeeded in recreating the problem at high speed next to another car.

I'm not especially sympathetic to the Tesla drivers this might kill.

I'm worried about everyone else.

I consider the suicide attempts a feature. I'll test for you, Tesla.

It shouldn't have even been released for normal people to use it in daily life, in real roads full of other cars. This poses a big life risk if you ask me, I hope countries start banning this feature soon otherwise many more other deaths will happen, and Elon somehow will get away with them. What's so hard about driving a real car manually? Did you all become fatass lazy people that don't even have the willpower to drive a car? Ridiculous. ML is experimental and for a machine, it's amazing, but it isn't as good as a human YET, thus causing life threatening accidents. FSD literally is still in beta, and people are driving full speed in roads with this beta software.

It can't be used in the EU. It would need to pass a review, Elon have claimed they are close to getting it through but Elon says a lot of things.

Self-driving cars are actually only legal in a few countries. And those countries have tests.

It's only the United States that just lets anyone do what everyone earth it is that they want, even if it's insanely dangerous.

Everywhere else any car company that's espousing self-driving tech would actually have to prove that it is safe, and only a few companies have managed to do this and even then the cars are limited to predefined areas where they are sure they're not going to come across difficult situations.
