You're driving along and some typhlotic driver pulls right out in front of you. How does it make you a bad driver if you jump on your brakes in order to avoid a collision that would have been caused entirely by the other driver?
Exactly!!
Not knowing the context of every "hard braking," "aggressive turning," etc. completely destroys the accuracy and usefulness of these as metrics to determine safety. And don't even get my started on the flawed logic of the Forward Collision Warning, which is even worse in FSD beta than it has been, ever.
There's a spot I drive through daily that has given me FCW's every time I've driven this road since downloading the beta. Never had a problem with it before. It's a gentle curving road that has a traffic light and a dedicated right turn lane. If you're in the straight lane, and there's a car in the right turn lane waiting to turn, you'll get nailed with an FCW
every time you go through that intersection.
Now sure, there's some argument to be made for patterns... if a guy constantly gets dinged for hard braking and aggressive turning, there might be something to be said for the safety of this driver. But, where is this driver located? In many locals, the average braking and turn rates are higher than in other places. So once again,
context matters.
I'm sure trying to get accurate metrics to measure driver safety is a difficult problem to solve, and IMO, Tesla isn't there yet.
My wife hasn't been in a traffic accident for 30+ years, but I know that if she were to drive under Tesla's Safety Score program, she'd be lucky to hit 50; her safe driving habits are simply different; but different does not mean unsafe.
But Bill... honestly, though... "typhlotic?" You must be an old guy like me.
