Tesla to recall all vehicles fsf feature

vendredi 4 février 2022 à 12:05

Tesla programmed its cars to go very slowly through a stop sign rather than completely stop, in very limited circumstances, much as many drivers do.

This is regarded as "unsafe", but given the special conditions required for the car to do it, I think that officials are exaggerating that danger.

I know of two real reasons why the Tesla car is unsafe.

The "full self-driving" feature is unsafe because it's based on the pretense that the driver will pay full attention to the driving all the time, just as one does while actually driving. Lots of drivers will say they will do so, then not do it.

The computer systems are not safe for drivers because they contain nonfree software, and that is always an injustice to the user.
