Totally agree as IMBHO those that think AI will replace the human brain are just too ignorant/lazy to figure things out. I have never trusted even cruise control in any vehicle I've driven. My brain/feet never let me down...Some of us were able to accurately articulate the types of problems likely to happen with such systems. An autopilot simply can’t process a situation like a human
That is a bad commercial. If I were to get hit by a GMC, me and a copy of that commercial would be in court, "Judge I swear right before they hit me I saw them playing patty cake."I'm still seeing that commercial with the no-hands-on-steering while two people are clapping to the music. Is it any wonder?

I'm not defending Autopilot systems, but your comment seems to imply that humans don't make errors. I think we all know that just isn't the case.
Can you see forward, backward, both sides, know the speed limit, know if there are changes in the road all at once? While changing the radio or yelling at the kids? Tesla can.Totally agree as IMBHO those that think AI will replace the human brain are just too ignorant/lazy to figure things out. I have never trusted even cruise control in any vehicle I've driven.

Ya. It's not all that different from cruise controls systems which can be used to set a fixed distance from the vehicle in front of it. They have been out for almost a decade.I'm not defending Autopilot systems, but your comment seems to imply that humans don't make errors. I think we all know that just isn't the case.
My gripe is with drivers who think they can fully yield driving to the autopilot system. That is nothing less than negligent. Ultimately, the driver is responsible controlling a motor vehicle. The real fault lays in the driver, not in the autopilot system. The fact that charges are being brought against the driver says that the prosecution also feels that way.
I do feel that Tesla has some level of responsibility, if for no other reason, by what is implied in naming the system Autopilot. Of course that has been discussed here on BITOG more than once.
It's fairly obvious. For starters we can look at their decision to use the term "autopilot" when describing the feature. This is on top of the plethora of advertisements, video demonstrations, etc which imply that the vehicle operates as if it were driverless.I'm curious if you have any examples of tesla encouraging this?
in the late 80’s I bought a new GM - sales guy kept going on and on about cruise control. I asked if there had been a lawsuit? He said a guy from the ME bought a custom van - set the speed and crawled in the back for a nap …Putting this tech in automobiles & expecting the buyers to use it in a reasonable & prudent manner is laughable.
Maybe we need lager dispensers too? But not in the Teslas optioned with autopilot.
That would be unreasonable.
Rare and far between to see people reading at the wheel, plus it isn’t something the car company can control. This auto pilot is coming from the company, big difference.I’ve had Tesla’s pass me with the “driver” fully engulfed in work (laptop, papers on dashboard, etc). However, I’ve also passed people with novels on the steering wheel. Both instances are people not focused on their vehicle and what it is doing.
Humans have a portion of the population that are flat out stupid, and technology will never fix it.
Well my kids are grown and no radio these days due to profound hearing loss, lmao, but yes I'm quite in tune with my car, changing weather/traffic conditions down to the millisecond. I will NEVER rely on very much automation to get through life. Technology certainly has a place in daily life, but too many are far too dependent on it and it clearly shows.Can you see forward, backward, both sides, know the speed limit, know if there are changes in the road all at once?

Again, a slight touch on the brake pedal disengages AP if something is wrong.
The accident in this thread is due to human error. The vast majority of accidents are.Well my kids are grown and no radio these days due to profound hearing loss, lmao, but yes I'm quite in tune with my car, changing weather/traffic conditions down to the millisecond.

Tesla clearly states who is responsible for driving the vehicle. To get into an accident while on AP, you have to be negligent. A simple tap on the brakes disables it.It's fairly obvious.

Well of course in some form the disclaimer will always be there at the insistence of legal, but lets be honest the majority of the time is spent talking about the features.Ive not seen anything from Tesla that doenst preface using it properly. Love to see that if you can actually come up with one.
On the name... ok I guess if your dumb enough to believe that after reading and signing the user agreement.
They probably should have named it something like T cruise.
There are innumerable idiots trying to circumvent it, guys in back seats orange on the wheel on and on...
I dont think tesla condones that in any way Ive seen.
What company do you think has the best stats on its automation?
Maybe MB? They have the first, and only, Level 4 system and it is only good up to 60 km/hr. Everything else, like Tesla, is max Level 3. They should call Level 3 Cruise Control Plus or something similar.Ive not seen anything from Tesla that doenst preface using it properly. Love to see that if you can actually come up with one.
