The whole point of the alert system is that something is happening that the vehicle suspects a driver would do better. "please take control" "please take control" "ok fine I had a plan anyways..." This makes no sense. Why are we holding autonomous vehicles to a much higher standard than we do for people?

Despite the warnings, Brown kept his hands off the wheel before colliding with a truck on a Florida highway. - - - The big problem here is that the Tesla continued motoring along normally even though the driver wasn't complying with the autopilot warnings to take back control. This is unacceptable, and puts innocent parties at risk (that is, other drivers of other vehicles). If the driver isn't complying, the Tesla cannot be permitted to simply continue as if nothing was wrong. --Lauren-- LaurenArchives | Modify Your Subscription | Unsubscribe Now
