Apparently the BMW full self deiving is failing at these tasks too and killing people. It is absurd how quickly the country has allowed self driving…it’s like beta testing
What’s also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.
I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn’t laugh back…
Also, naming it auto pilot was the dumbest idea
I think “autopilot” is an accurate name. An aircraft’s autopilot is not designed to allow unsupervised flight. It merely assists with the more “mundane” tasks so the pilot can focus on things that need more active human monitoring. It seems that the type of people to buy these cars for this feature are also the type of people who do not understand what an autopilot is supposed to do. I guess in that sense, I do agree with you.
My thing is that these cars have enough design problems already, and I feel like conflating an autopilot feature with how people are abusing it will pull focus away from the larger issues. Like that horrible manual door release design in another post, and other questionable safety choices.
Yeah but when actual human drivers are the competition the bar isn’t that high
I would have taken a second to understand this poorly designed intersection. The driver should have intervened.
