We Investigated Tesla's Autopilot. It's Scarier Than You Think [video]

@5:30 fake demo video like Nikola
TheAlchemist•1h ago
Yep, it's quite incredible that they released this faked video, quite a lot of people died in various accidents involving Autopilot / FSD where they clearly felt for the marketing, then Tesla guy who made it admitted it was faked and even crashed at some point while filming, and now instead of being in jail, he is ... the head of Tesla Autopilot program.

1) Nikola didn't kill anyone

2) Tesla's fraud eclipses Nikola's few billion amateur hour.

mgh2•1h ago
To be fair, it was “staged”, not completely fake; but yes, the false advertising killed many

A great mystery is how Tesla is avoiding culpability and liability for gross lying and mortal harms caused by the product, and instead being rewarded with fantastic amounts of money!

Personal computer appliance users truly blame themselves for the failures of the devices, no matter the degree of wreckage and injury caused by bad design, while cheering the men (unbearable a*holes) who foist malfunctional and dangerous tech upon them.

The captains of this industry are notorious for refusing to take responsibility for their mistakes and actively planning to deploy tech they themselves claim is hazardous, while being continually cheered by investors hungry to make a killing.

Tesla is a case study for the world about the hazards of California Ideology libertarianism and the precedence of greed over personal responsibility and justice.

Since Ronald Reagan, personal responsibility has never been a libertarian (Republican) trait. It's always "Oops I did it again!" and "I forgot!"

No surprise the "trolley problem" is the signature thought experiment for the industry as its technocrats constantly hunt for ways to escape responsibility and seek unearned profits.

With the woeful performance of Musk's cars and robots, DOGE fiasco, Federal schedule drug habit, goonerism, and inability to maintain personal relationships, Musk's plans for a mars adventure are psychotic.

But what fun to watch!

The civil justice system is slow (and COVID made the whole justice system even slower for quite a while), but aside from that, maybe they're not? A quarter billion dollar verdict for a 2019 crash was recently returned against them.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tesla design. I just never understood why anyone would deliberately inject additional possible critical safety faults into their driving experience.

I was glad when they started charging for it, 'cuz it just meant fewer dangerous Teslas on the road.

I have no doubt we'll get to full autopilot...eventually, and we've "gotten there" already with adaptive cruise control, BUT in the interim, if you can't pay full attention while driving you shouldn't be driving.

senordevnyc•1h ago
We have gotten there. Waymo does hundreds of thousands of paid rides in US cities every week, with no one in the drivers seat, and an essentially flawless accident record. The future is here, we just need to roll it out to everyone.
typewithrhythm•1h ago
There is this big hump of safety, where adding assist features causes (some portion of) average drivers to become inattentive, and decreases overall safety.

Things start to improve again once the features get even more capable.

IMO Tesla fsd is well past the hump compared to most current cars with acc+lateral.

fragmede•47m ago
Should, sure, but people are gonna people, and I'd rather this not-so-hypothetical driver be using the latest FSD rather then not paying attention and hoping Autopilot is up to the task.
notjoemama•1h ago
I liked this YouTube comment: "Never before have I seen a CEO get away with straight up lying to investors so often." So...like, you're kinda young then, right? Basically you're unaware of private equity, the 2008 housing crisis and occupy Wall Street. I agree what he's doing is wrong, really wrong. I'm just sick of the obvious partisan schadenfreude hyperbole. Was an article about Chorus on hacker news? I'll search, maybe I missed it by one day. Such is social media.

Check it out, there was one post...no comments though. Kinda sus. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45052881

Here is what I didn't like about this video:

- The scary effect music shows it's intended as a hit piece.

- The constant intermixing of Autopilot and Full Self Driving, two very different things.

- Implying that driving just based on visual input is unsafe, when that is how all humans drive.

Of course, that the video is an unserious hit piece doesn't mean these Tesla features are safe. But I need something more serious to be convinced.

OsrsNeedsf2P•48m ago
I was waiting for the video to share data on the safety of Tesla self driving versus human drivers, but... No. I guess those numbers wouldn't have supported the argument.

I am not convinced that a camera fixed in place is equivalent to eyeballs with 6 degrees of freedom. That freedom significantly boosts the available parallax for depth and distance perception something fixed in place cameras lack.
