More or less Tesla’s autopilot is not as safe as Tesla would have you believe.

    They’re running a beta test to the general public - only the thing they’re testing is a 2 ton ball of metal and explosive material regularly traveling at 45 mph (70 kmh). They even have the gall to charge for the ability to beta test it. I really hope this gets regulated at some point, otherwise this is just the beginning

      Maybe a controversial opinion, but I’m glad they are charging for it. I wish there were a better way to vet who gets to be beta testers, but at least by charging money, they are ensuring only people who care about the technology get to use it.

      Maybe I’m jaded, but it seems like drivers, in general, have gotten worse post-pandemic, and I wouldn’t trust 90% of them with autonomous driving features in the state it’s in.
