Conversely, we’ve bought several Teslas and have covered tens of thousands of miles on Autopilot, usually at 70mph (sometimes faster if the speed limit allows for it [Texas]). No issues.
99% of the time it's great, and road trips on autopilot are so much more relaxing than in my previous ICE car. But that 1% is eventually gonna kill me via car crash or via heart attack.
I really only feel comfortable on autopilot during rush hour bumper to bumper traffic.
Only when Tesla can be sued by my insurance company if the car gets into a crash while on self-driving, will I trust that the appropriate due diligence was applied.
Ignore my anecdote, the data speaks for itself. GM ignition switch deficiencies GM covered up killed orders of magnitude more people (124).
It just has a lot of corner cases, untested even. This blind trust in SW and by extension, technology, is really exasperating.
Really curious, how would you quantify the reasonabl risk ? Should the risk be based on number of fatalities or on the number of potential fatalities that were averted ?
The data that you point to is about fatal crashes that made the news. What about all the cases that the SW malfunctioned and had a potential to be fatal ? Only tesla has that data or perhaps even they may not.
