There's no evidence it's more dangerous though. The exact opposite is true.
If a self driving car hits me and I am not injured too badly then it will be extremely dangerous for the passengers in the self driving car. I will do my best to drag them out and put them in an extended coma.
Tesla's are pretty cheap comparatively. They are about the same as any other luxury car or your standard SUV. It's not like we are talking about a $200k car.
Seems like someone who can't even manage to drive well enough not to hit someone should fall into that category too. I guess it's so common that it's not a big deal anymore.
Over $41k according to this site.
It's all about acceptable risk. Society has decided that driving is an acceptable risk even when there are safer alternatives available. Society hasn't decided that is the case with the rona yet. It will at some point though. You can already see it happening with all the mandates being lifted.
I assume you're talking about the moron who should have been behind the steering wheel. And I agree, the human being is unquestionably one of the dumbest inventions imaginable. Thanks to idiots like these two, the rest of us will ultimately be deprived of responsible use of a great and useful product, since we are societally geared toward catering to the lowest common denominators among us.2 dead in Tesla crash after car 'no one was driving' hits tree, authorities say
One person was in the passenger seat and another was in the rear seat, authorities said. The names of the victims were not immediately released.
One of the dumbest things ever invented.
this is the discussion I try to have when the subject of nuclear power generation comes up. Irrational fears keep us from having this highly benevolent source of power, even as those who are so afraid of dying by nuclear accident (that virtually never happens) are being exposed to power-generation pollution that kills in the tens of thousands annually just in the U.S. And as you point out, we aren't going apeshit over the fact that auto accidents kill a gob of people every year. Why aren't we hiding under the bed because of that? People are just stupid.
my point is that an invention is neither smart nor dumb, but its operator sure as hell can be.
I've seen video of a guy using a lawn mower to trim the top of his hedges. I don't think the lawn mower was the stupid one.
There are a crap-ton of teslas around Raleigh and I majority I see are Model 3, which starts at $38,190 including dest fee. Tack on 10k for the self-driving.
