Would you trust a driverless car?
But I'm certain that if I got in the back of a Waymo like in that video I'd be quite freaked out.
Same here and i think they have a way to go before we are all convinced they are safe -
Not to mention dealing with potholes & roadworks.I don't think they'll ever be capable of driving on every road around the world. They are too dependant on road markings and lane delineations. When they aren't present, they'll either stop like the one in the video or eventually crash.
But Tesla think they can navigate all this safely with cameras.Not to mention dealing with potholes & roadworks.
Elon Musk promised in 2015 that Teslas would have "complete autonomy" "in two years". Seven years later, we're still waiting - Tesla won't release the data they have, but crowdsourced data suggests that they can only go an average of 84 miles before a "critical disengagement" (ie handing back to a human driver for safety reasons), whereas the likes of WeRide and Waymo can go ~200x that distance before a safety driver steps in, and Waymo had 1.2 million miles driverless.But Tesla think they can navigate all this safely with cameras.
