Dateline, Düsseldorf! In a move that’s sure to ruffle some feathers at Tesla HQ, a German court has officially ruled that Tesla’s Autopilot system is “unsuitable for use” due to a long-standing issue: phantom braking. You know, that fun little quirk where your car slams the brakes for no reason.
I wanted to ask about this: automated braking for pedestrians is a new safety requirement for new cars in the USA, which means it must be safe enough as a mature technology. Is the Tesla self-driving doing something different? Why does the automated braking for pedestrians system not have the problem of spurious braking at speed?
“which means it must be safe enough”
What makes you think this?
Because I trust the regulating authorities to be professionals and do due diligence on their new proposed regulations. This is why we have a government.
Someone who’s more knowledgeable than me might have access to the documents behind their decision to independently verify.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh wait, you’re serious? Let me laugh harder!
Watch any court interview/hearing/testimony with any tech CEO by the government, its hilarious how bad the questions are. The geriatrics making laws don’t understand any tech newer than the 70’s or 80’s.
