Funny I don’t even own a Tesla but I seem to be aware of what the limitations of this system are. I think Telsa has made it abundantly clear what the proper use of this systems is.

Tesla does state that the autopilot is beta software and the best place to test beta software is on the mass market. Unfortunately, this accident shows the software isn’t perfect but it will also make the next gen software work better. Using the autopilot on a Tesla is agreeing to be a beta tester (ie. keep your…

“A) First and foremost, Tesla puts “marketing” (way) before safety.”

Which also begs the question, how'd the truck driver miss the car it turned left in front of? Everyone seems to be calling for Musk's head due to this accident, yet not a peep from a majority about all the distracted drivers using cellphones in non-Tesla cars.

Sounds to me like the semi driver did the killing here.

Public Beta = Drivers Ed

It’s maybe a little misleading, since I’m sure it is unquestionably safer than the standard cruise control that’s installed on all but the most basic cars. The danger comes not from the device, but from the fact the driver will ignore all those warnings and not pay attention, despite the fact that Tesla’s autopilot is…

I’m more worried about the following:

I’ve driven enough on highways and in NYC itself to be more uncomfortable with everyday drivers. I’d trust this Tesla over 99% of the cab drivers I see everyday.

And yet all data shows that these systems still reduce collisions and reduce the risk of serious injury when there is a collision.

I’d take that over:

I can remember my Mother complaining about cruise control when I was younger because she was afraid people wouldn’t pay attention. Tesla isn’t selling an autonymous control system, it’s basically a really really advanced cruise control. That’s why there is a disclaimer.

I don't understand why people are blaming tesla. Autopilot didn't kill him, his inability to look where he was going did.

That’s a strong, strong take, my friend. Strong.

Yeah and also these guys get paid money to play a kids’ game. They’re living the dream. I remember a time when Fergie Jenkins had to work as an auto mechanic during the off-season just to make ends meet. And the man is a goddamn hall of famer. Although he shouldn’t be since he only won 295 games. What’s up with that…

My husband and I bonded over our mutual love of both WWW and Van Helsing. I don’t know what that says about us all other than WE ARE AWESOME.

Other people who regret appearing in Wild Wild West:

They always skip over the “well-regulated” part.

I was enlisted back in the 90s and you didn’t get to touch a weapon outside of tightly controlled circumstances. All ammo was painstakingly accounted for each and every time you went to the rifle range or on guard duty. There was no fucking around. Because an M-16 is a deadly weapon of war. No one, and I mean no one,…

She’s a human woman Aimee! With armpits. It’s the lighting probably! She isn’t an alien that looks similar to you, sorry US humans with subtle differences like a lack of armpits or salivary glands who mostly eats tree frogs for sustenance. What? That would be INSANE. Let’s talk about how completely normal her speech…
