NTSB: Tesla’s Autopilot UX a “major role” in fatal Model S crash
I'm a huge Musk fan and wish him and Tesla all the success in the world. But releasing any kind of machine-assisted driving without a near infallible "don't hit objects in front of the vehicle" function is simply irresponsible.<p>This crash, as well as the one where a Tesla crashed into a concrete barrier[1] are evidence that their tech is not ready for release.<p>How much do you want to bet the Waymo self-driving technology would have avoided both of these? Seems like one of the simplest cases to handle: something up ahead is blocking the way!<p>Anyone who uses Tesla machine-assisted driving features today is putting themselves in grave danger (except for low-speed features like parallel parking).<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIBTBxZ3NWw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIBTBxZ3NWw</a>
