Do you have any data that autopilot is causing increased rear endings? Do you have data showing more crashes and fatality from autopilot? If so, you have more information than NHTSA and many high profile lawyers in this country. You should submit this data to them, it would save lives.
Nearly causing an accident when I was using it is a good enough reason for me personally to question it and don't trust it with my life, I don't need data to back my experience with it. When I can not trust AP to function as it is designed to function, how can I trust FSD and how can any company justify $10000.00 price tag for it and call it "Full Self Driving".
when it is comes to AP causing less accidents or more, lets take a hypothetical example, say in 100 cars operated by human only, there are 10 accidents., In 100 AP/FSD operated cars, there are 5 accidents. In the former case, all 10 are caused by humans and it is nothing different than the accidents we see on a day to day basis.
In case of AP/FSD, yes, the accidents are less statistically. But, what happens to Tesla/AP/FSD when those 5 parties sue Tesla.
Now, you can say driver should be attentive and should be able to takeover when danger is detected, it is not easy to do it and what is point in letting AP/FSD drive if you have to put more effort in concentrating and evaluating how AP/FSD is driving rather than you drive it and how can you call it FSD.
FSD is in full blown testing phase and it will be for a very long time in to the future. Charging $10000.00 for it to be tested by the customers is outrageous and should not be allowed and most importantly, the name should be changed to something else other than FSD which is misleading to public.
Also, if a decade was not enough to release a stable version with out the beta tag to general public, I have a hard time believing that it would be possible in the near future. The cameras, radars, lidars have been there for more than a decade, I dont see anything new coming to help their FSD cause.
and training cameras to use AI/Neural network is going to take a long long time and they need insane times two amount of data to do it the right way.
