That's because this new version was trained exclusively by human drivers.

And yet you're complicit with Tesla in that you're using a not ready for prime time system on public roadways, endangering the lives of those going about their daily lives. "Oops, sorry Mrs Smith. I didn't mean to run over your husband, but I was using a system with KNOWN flaws. Just think of the upside. Perhaps your husband gave his life for the greater good, um, the greater good of Tesla." Like I said previously, if I or anyone in my family ever gets hit or hurt by someone allowing the car to drive itself, I will sue the absolute **** out of that person and the car manufacturer. It is virtually impossible to write self-driving software that can react to every potential driving scenario.

When I leave the school, there is no school zone sign and the system has no way of knowing that it is a school zone and that the flashing light is on. The only real way to solve it would be a database that has all the school zone times so that the car will know based on location and time of the day. I see no other way to fix that.
You just proved my point! Here's a fix...DRIVE THE ****ING CAR AND PAY ATTENTION!

Grandsport really, truly can't see the forest through the trees. Are we sure he isn't an engineer?? I guess a lot of people these days are frozen in fear if they have a software issue. **** software. Say yes to LIVING LIFE.

It is said that it is easier to wear slippers than to carpet the whole world.

So far, it looks like Tesla FSD needs to carpet the whole world.

And yet when it's anybody else, you argued repeatedly that a signature was not enough because people don't read before signing things.

The ONLY way to test such syatem is on the road. Nobody is getting run over. This is a supervised system. The more data the system has, the better it will perform.

There is a difference of not reading a long contract and not reading 2 sentences.
I have been in many closings for real estate transactions and I have never ever read the entire document. If people would read the entire contract, closings would take 3 to 4 times longer.

Yea, can't wait to dodge the Tesla that randomly slams on the brakes because there is a f**king cone on the side of the road, or slows down to whatever the hell speed it chooses because there is a barrier even though there is no posted speed reduction.

No the point is that they remove themselves from liability for for the shit that goes wrong in their f-ed up software and put it on you instead. Most people are smart enough to figure that out.

Bullshit.

Who in the f**k is talking about real estate closings? Your previous answer was that people didn't even read the front page of a vehicle purchase order or the odometer statement. Nobody is talking about real estate contracts (other than you trying to defend your messiah). Hell, you're so pathetically lazy that you want the government to regulate autotrader because you can't be bothered to read past the first line.

Your answer is different now because it's Tesla. And it's equally hilarious and pathetic.

And yes, I'm still rooting for the phone pole.

You are living in the past. Phantom braking is long gone. It was a thing for a while after they got rid of Lidar.
Of course they shouldn't have liability if driver fails to monitor the system as required. It is a beta product. You can choose not to use it. It's completely optional. The only way to refine the system is with more real world data and the only way to get that data is with a large number of drivers using it.

A federal report published today found that Tesla's Autopilot system was involved in at least 13 fatal crashes in which drivers misused the system in ways the automaker should have foreseen—and done more to prevent.

Huh, imagine that. I’m sure they tapped the screen so it’s not the driver’s fault.
