Every day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians; nobody bats an eye. (c.f. US CDC)

One Tesla crashes and it's front page news.

I guess the difference is we expect humans to fuck up, but autonomous driving is meant to eventually be the thing that replaces that and stops us fucking up.

It just needs to to be better than humans, not perfect. That would save lives.

The scary thing to me is that humans are predictable, or at least, predictable in their unpredictableness.

With AI, it's a black box I don't understand. When it suddenly crashes, I literally will have no idea why.

And Tesla's shitty ADAS is making the rest of the industry look bad.
