      I hate felon musk but I honestly believe their self driving tech is safer than humans.

      Have you seen the average human? They’re beyond dumb. If they’re in cars it’s like the majority of htem are just staring at their cell phones.

      I don’t think self driving tech works in all circumstances, but I bet it is already much better than humans at most driving, especially highway driving.

        I think the fair comparison would be humans that drive legally.
        Idiots that drive high or drunk or without prescription glasses or whatever, shouldn’t count as “normal” human driving.
        In the same way a self driving car can have issues that will make it illegal.

        The problem is that legal self driving Tesla is not as safe as a legal person. I sees poorly at night, it gets confused in situations people handle routinely. And Tesla is infamous for not stopping when the road is blocked from 1m and up, and for breaking without reason. I’ve seen videos where they demonstrated an unnecessary break every ½ hour!! Where a large part was the German Autobahn, which is probably some of the easiest driving in the world!!

              The way I edited the quote, it was just a like joke about braking vs breaking.

              Like I could make a pedantic reply about spelling, but no teslas in fact brake unexpectedly AND break unexpectedly. So, no notes!

                  No worries. I’m glad I explained it then!

                  The first thing that comes to mind for popular media using “no notes” the way I did is probably John Oliver. I spent 10 seconds stacking for a clip or a montage of him saying it but came up empty.

        That’s how it should be. Unfortunately, one of the main decision maker on tesla’s self driving software is doing their best to make it perform worse and worse every time it gets an update.
