How's that computer-vision-only approach working out for you, Tesla?

Tesla Using 'Full Self-Driving' Hits Deer Without Slowing, Doesn't Stop

OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

  • The one thing I will say is this isn't a human... Deer probably aren't in their training data at near the rates humans are.

    It's definitely still concerning, but also still maybe more trustworthy than some human drivers. We seriously give licenses to too many people. Within the last week I've seen a guy that went into the other lane by like 4' multiple times and I also saw a lady who blocked 2 lanes of traffic so she could make an illegal U turn on a 4 lane city street (rather than you know turning off on a side street/one of many nearby parking lots and turning around).

    • Deer and other animals are extremely common on rural roads. If they don't have enough training data then they are being willfully incompetent.
