Seriously - it’s the 85% correct solution that gets you killed in the other 15%



Well but it doesn’t kill you when it’s wrong so being 85% right is a lot more valuable


On the roughly 100 autopilot trips I’ve taken - you nailed it - I died 15 times.


It's not about 100 easy autopilot trips, it's about 1001 trip where you as human can easily see what to do but AI will interpret reality wrong because it was not trained to handle that edge case and you will die.


That's why everything except for TACC is in beta, the driver needs to agree to be ready to take control immediately before their use, and so on.


That sounds more like 99.9% not 85%. Guess it’s a good thing I don’t nap while it’s on.


I think this is called survivor bias?


That explains why I pass by so many smoking burned out teslas. My turn soon I guess!
