Here's a dandy, this is my home province. Check this article out, it's fresh, just happened.

12 claimed auto-pilot deaths above, 5 confirmed.

Predicted this, there's no way the programmers at tesla can program out all the possible variations of potential problems on the roads. This is infinite and requires alert drivers period. I understand there are quite a few deaths being recorded now.
Unsure how this sort of tech passed any sort of legislation to be allowed on our roads. Piloting 2.5 tons of death at rapid speed through narrow arteries in public spaces we all share is something that should only be done by alert qualified trained drivers period. Not computers. There's a lot less to worry about up in the air, barely any traffic, none of said traffic confined to narrow arteries, some clouds, some weather, maybe some birds, the variables are infinitely less up there than down here on the roads. It is impossible to program for all the variables you will encounter on one particular road through a full season of lighting and weather conditions on top of the random unforseens which also have infinite variability.
And people support this stuff? We really are doomed as we can't even seem to grasp any big picture realities anymore.
There are options for those who don't want to drive and take on the seriousness or liability of that. It's called uber, public transit, limo service, etc. You buy a car you better be able to do your part to look after everyone else you share the road with also, pushing a button and having a nap...you should be charged with attempted murder, not just dangerous driving. Don't you dare put me and my family at risk like that. Have a coffee, get on point, and drive like your, and my, life depends on it...because it does.
Rant...just getting started probably
Where you at Swampnut? Another indefensible tech related thing, can't wait to see you defend it though.
Elon should maybe be going to jail? Or whoever passed any sort of nonsense that allowed this be apart of any road legal vehicle. We are all at risk of Tesla's...like we don't have enough to watch out for and worry about while piloting vehicles out there. Now we have to keep an eye peeled for tesla missiles just like we have to watch out for slow prius drivers in the left lane. It will be seriously ironic when a rogue computer piloted tesla obliterates an overly slow prius in the fast lane. Not sure why but something about that scenario is appealing.
