Consumer Description
https://youtu.be/yRdzIs4FJJg "Autopilot is set to shut down 1 second before any impact. Makes the driver 100% in control before an accident. Makes the driver 100% responsible. Tesla has killed two motorcyclists in the past 4 months. At night the ai can't tell the difference between a motorcyclist up close and a car far away. So, it assumes car and runs right into it. Another interesting issue with teslas autopilot. They claim its 10x safer than a person. That not true. The claim is based on sheer accidents per mile. Autopilot is only really used on the highway, eating up miles quickly and in an environment where, although consequences of crashes can be more severe, they happen less often. When adjusted to compare highway driving autopilot to highway driving people, it's really only about as safe as a person, if that. In their 2022 cars tesla has done away with radar. So all new teslas have no idea the true distance something is from them. They are 100% cameras, while every other autonomous driving company is utilizing LiDAR. LiDAR is expensive and ugly. That's why tesla isn't using it. And taking radar out of their cars was just another cost savings measure. They were having a problem with the video and radar being at odds as to what's in front of the car. So instead of spending the money to fix it and fuze the sensors into a more robust solution. They just ditched radar and make the assumption that the video analysis is correct."
