Tesla Autopilot

“it worked really well on highways”

“flaws in Tesla's self-driving software were partly to blame for a crash that killed a 22-year-old woman in 2019”

“As a user of the system that’s worked it all out”

“It is indeed known to have issues at railway crossings”

“I’ve seen it very confidently and correctly navigate rural unmarked roads”

“I owned a Tesla in Sweden for 2 years and had perhaps 3 ghost break events total.”

“I can’t recall anytime either Autopilot or FSD put me in danger though.”

“They've been stuck at L2 for a decade now, and I don't see much reason to think that making that system incrementally more reliable will ever "unlock" L4.”

“It's lane keep with adaptive cruise control.”

“saves a lot of cognitive work, still needs close of my 100% attention”

“Tesla recorded one crash for every 6.69 million miles with Autopilot, compared to 1.26 million miles without it”

“If you have to keep your full attention on the road at all times and constantly look out for the 10% case where the autopilot may spectacularly fail, it instantly turns off the vast majority of prospective users.”

“it's tough messaging for sure, especially putting these powertools into peoples hands with no formal training required”

“this is literally one of 1-3 companies who have a decent strategy in the age of AI”

“There's legit dashcam video showing Autopilot preventing severe crashes.”

“the autopilot is safer than human pilots”

“Consider also how many lives have been saved by the autopilot.”

“people accused Tesla of naming “autopilot” misleadingly, because it gave them the impression of fully unattended self-driving”

“they have very good guardrails to prevent you that”

“His autopilot has killed several people, sometimes the owner of the car, sometimes other drivers sharing the road.”

“a lane keeping solution that worked extremely well”

“Autopilot uses an entirely different, hand coded system from several years ago, which they haven't updated at all”

“Tesla's autopilot stuff (or perhaps vehicle design) is causing a ton of accidents, regardless of whether it's being operated locally by customers or remotely by professionals.”

“AP is definitely the exception and would safely stop you”

“What Tesla failed at was putting their heads in the clouds and hoping something awesome would eventually pop out the other end.”

“Tesla's consumer vehicle autonomy features are ahead in some ways but way behind GM and Mercedes-Benz in others”

“the cars his company makes are way, way, way ahead on this particular feature”

“the reduction in cognitive load and mental fatigue as a result of these aids is amazing”

“Autopilot was good enough to cover highway driving”

“sometimes the routing is weird and I want to override that”

“Tesla autopilot is the best”

“charging for functionality that several manufacturers offer for past several years sounds like desperation to get any revenue”

“They are taking away a standard feature for most modern cars as a sad way to push more people into their shitty CaaS model.”

“The basic autopilot is very useful.”

“literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot”

“It's definitely nice, but not full self driving.”

“These things actually augment my driving and reduce cognitive strain while driving”

“by all accounts an impressive piece of tech, and the stats about accident prevention are pretty convincing”

“One of the first high-profile Tesla fatalities was on a highway, where the vehicle misunderstood a left exit and crashed into a concrete barrier.”

“It made my cross-country trips so much more enjoyable.”
