@jeffjarvis strong disagree. There’s nothing inherently wrong with autopilot, used appropriately, and many other cars have a similar assistant. The problem is with the framing, particularly with Elon Musk hyping stats that supposedly showed it is safer than a human driver. Which is bogus (AP is used in conditions which are much easier to navigate anyway).
@jeffjarvis #rdw #rijksdienstvoorhetwegverkeer (Dutch Car Certification authority), maybe a bit more careful this time when #NaziMusk comes breaking down your door to get #EU approval for his #AutoPilot killer software? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3A3AAK5Nrk&ab_channel=Zembla
@jeffjarvis what about Google? Waymo or whatever it's
@hgedek
Waymo uses lidar. Tesla uses cameras. I'd advise staying far away from the second.

@jeffjarvis $243m sounds like costs of doing business. I'm sure their tame SCOTUS will reduce the fine.
