Yeah, Apple is not currently the shining example of the people I want in charge of our bright new autonomous future. Then again if it’s that or Google maybe they’re not so bad.
Apple is a pretty incredible engineering organization. They regularly deploy software updates to a fleet of billions of devices, largely without issue. A few years ago they deployed a brand new file system to almost a billion devices, also largely without issues. They're probably one of the few non-automotive, non-aeropsace organizations that you'd want engineering cars.
The point on AFPS is very compelling. Imagine risking that much of someone else's data.
They first deployed APFS in shadow mode, like Tesla does with autopilot testing.
Autopilot is reverse shadow right? Or does Tesla father data on how people drive when autopilot is switched off?
Yes, they compare predicted AP action with driver action.
