It still blows my mind that so many people are okay with beta testing software that controls a several-tonne metal box on wheels moving at 100km/h+ on shared roadways.
That includes those of us who worked on safety critical engineering years ago and know exactly what the fuck we are talking about.
FTFY. We're socially conditioned to ignore these risks, but it's still objectively insane that I can easily kill myself, my entire family, and another group of innocent bystanders by rotating a steering wheel a few inches in the wrong direction.
(I still don't and would never use Tesla FSD, though.)
So maybe we should worry more about the average American?
No, I don't believe any of those p-hacked/biased stats that conveniently portray something, that is sold as BETA SOFTWARE by a company with a multi-billion market cap and a world-class marketing division, to be "safer" than an average driver.
FWIW I'm also not thrilled with the idea of the average person being permitted to get behind the wheel of a 5 tonne death machine, either.
> So maybe we should worry more about the average American?
As an outsider (Australian) watching the American empire decline so rapidly in recent years, I assure you I'm also quite worried about America, and the average American.
