Fuck AI

I want to go back to early 2010s when all this tech was so cool and promising.

miss that optimism

no one seems to be questioning why exactly we need self driving cars in the first place. cars are an absolutely horrendous way to handle personal transportation already why add self driving on top of that

There's a lot wrong with Tesla's implementation here, so I'm going to zoom in on one in particular. It is outright negligent to decide against using LIDAR on something like a car that you want to be autonomous. Maybe if this car had sensors to map out 3D space, that would help it move more successfully through 3D space?

Tesla ~~Full-Self Driving~~ Driver Veers Off Road, Hits Tree, and Flips Car for No Obvious Reason

FTFY

The obvious reason is that the product is not capable of driving itself.

That system has no awareness that it's a motor vehicle.

It has the capacity to execute instructions.

It has no capacity to judge if the instructions are reasonable.

It does not know, understand, or care if it gets you to your destination or if it kills you, or itself.

No cruelty, just executing instructions.

I'm excited for the "self-driving" tractor trailers...

Plot twist: the drivers name was John Connor

Read the headline as "flips off car" and was pleased to see they hit a new milestone in mimicking human drivers.
