I hope they don’t. That’s not the standard I am looking for.
That's the standard the world is looking for. I don't quibble that Tesla's system is a pretty good ADAS. But any system that requires a fully attentive, licensed, insured, legally liable for everything the car does driver isn't autonomous. It just isn't. And what the world wants is autonomous driving.
And funny, that's exactly what Musk has been promising us for over a decade. Autonomous.
Maybe that's not the standard you want. After all, I get the sense that you enjoy being behind the wheel for some, uhh,
spirited motoring
I, too, will find it a little bittersweet, being a middle-aged man who has enjoyed cars, motorcycles, and has a bit of lead foot and an adrenaline habit, to give all that up for a car that just does literally EVERYTHING for me. But we have about ~40,000 vehicle fatalities a year in this country, and
full autonomy could massively cut that number. I consider that a worthwhile tradeoff. So for me,
full autonomy is the standard.
