Be careful what you measure because it will drive the Wrong behavior!

How to maintain a Good Safety Score: Satirical
Do not hit your brake or swerve otherwise you’ll be tossed out for hard braking and aggressive turns. Don’t brake for a Jay Walkers, car cutting you off, animal running out, etc just hit them, it won’t affect your score. If an unfamiliar light changes quickly on you run it, else hard braking, disqualified from accessing beta. Maintain a ~1/4mi following distance on highway. Put a placard on the back of your car stating “Go Around – I’m protecting and improving my Safety Score” Find back rural country roads and drive below speed limit for hours on end each day. Don’t use AP/NOA even though that is the system you’ll be testing. Hmmm. I’m sure you can all come up with others.
Again – “Be Careful What You Measure Because It Will Drive the Wrong Behavior” Wait just drive safely. Ok but again, someone cuts you off, steps out from behind a van, animal runs out, garbage can or ball blows into the road, bicyclist cuts out etc and you hit the brakes and/or swerve your score immediately drops. So back out you go to driving rural roads below speed limit to get your score back up. You are getting false positives as others have stated. Gaming the system.
Why not look at the accident free total miles car driven in AP/NOA over the past several years. Isn’t that what is going to be tested anyway? Tesla is the Data accumulator and massive storage warehouse of all this data, why aren’t they using it? They have all the data already on every vehicle. We know because they pull the logs on vehicles involved in crashes and turn all the data over to the investigators.
Let’s do conspiracy… Maybe the The Safety Score is a trial run for their Insurance offering software program we all get to be the testers for, advertise it as the FSD Beta gatekeeper???? Another one; Elon got into some good weed and wanted a good laugh, watch what I can make all these people do….
Anyhow – having fun with the Safety Score. Very bizarre. Can you see yourself sitting down with the grand children one day; tell us again the story about what that man made all the folks do so they could access a capability they paid for years ago, that’s so funny, why did they do it again? Did he make them wear funny hats too? You have to admit this is bizarre if you are in the queue and doing it.
Ok enough fun for today back out to log more miles, have a Safety Day!!!
