New York Times August 17 had an article , 'It happened so fast': Inside a Tesla fatal autopilot accident.'
It says the National Highway Traffic Safety Commission has opened a formal investigation into 11 accidents since 2018 using Autopilot where the crashes involved police, fire and ambulances who had flashing lights on.
It gives accounts of the cars simply ignoring or not recognising the significance of the lights-with tragic consequences.
The article states, 'Despite its name, Autopilot does not make Teslas autonomous. The auto industry classifies it, and similar systems offered by General Motors as Level 2 self driving. Cars that can operate autonomously at all times would be level 5, a distinction that no car on sale today is close to achieving.'
One wonders if Akida can take the industry from Level 2-5 in one leap. Or at least make a car stop when it sees flashing emergency lights!
There are other insights into the thinking of Elon Musk regarding the use of cameras to monitor driver distraction. It says, 'Mr Musk has said monitoring drivers while cars operate on systems like Autopilot may not be needed because machines are much safer than people. "Having a human will decrease safety," he said in an April 2019 interview with an M.I.T researcher.
Someone give this bloke a call.
