The only times I have ever had accidents or close calls in a car (where another driver was not at fault for e.g. reckless driving behavior) has been with cruise control or with auto keep lane - the former I spun out, the later it tried to drive me off of a highway at 70 mph repeatedly.
The sorts of assistive technologies that would actually help are not really being worked on, assistive has been misunderstood as meaning "allowing the driver to be lazier".
Sure - if Tesla pulls it off, it's great. But it's a gamble with more than just Teslas stock, that is what makes Elon an unethical sociopath here...
Waymo's approach is assuredly safer, there is still the possibility of technical glitches but it the approach doesn't create more problems with humans than it solves.
Yes, sure, humans can be dangerous, but if that's the problem then it's safest to just not get on the road period, kinda negates the whole point of an FSD though...
