Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

The numbers that count will be crashes per million kilometers for human control vs sleep while driving. The purists will argue that even one system flaw is one too many, even though the human variant can have multiple.
Tesla has proven to game the stats. Switch off AP 0.1 seconds before crash and then report that AP as not engaged at the time of crash. Hell, I wouldnt be surprised if the software is programmed to retroactively log AP off after a crash is detected. Only tesla can access the data so they don't need to worry about independent verification.

Why let a few motorcyclists and pedestrians stand in the way of corporate success?
 
you have to stay away, it literally warns you if your eyes are not on the road. It has a camera watching you on top of all the cameras watching the road. 1984 is alive and wall in Tesla's, they just look much nicer then the cold hard concrete world where Big Brother is in control.

If you have not tried FSD it is worth scheduling a free demo drive at Tesla. It is pretty amazing. I have lane assist in my Subaru Outback, I thought that was spectacular when I first got the car new in 2020. It would keep me in my lane and follow gentle curves. I remember testing it out on the highway from Stratford to the other side of Waterloo via the expressway way and it handled it the entire way. No Lange changes of course, just middle lane all the way with adaptive cruise control on. FSD is light years ahead, handles more than just gentle curves in the road with ease. Not saying you should trust it completely, but it does an amazing job and it will only get better the more data and learning it does. I would imagine more trouble would be had in heavily congested areas, getting confused, people walking in front, construction, etc. Less damage to be had slow moving of course, but more to tax the computational power.
Haven't we had FSD for years now? Last i checked it hasn't delivered on its promise.

While it is good, it is far from the marketing hype of full-self driving.

Robotaxis finally launched today. Driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, hitting cyclists, etc as expected. A few dead road users is meaningless in the quest for profit. The mind boggles how they speed. That is the most trivial of issues to solve.
