Tesla's “full self driving” beta is potentially dangerous

I think that's the wrong question. The right question is "how much better is it than human drivers?" When you get up to 2x better, there will be _only_ 20,000 fatal Tesla crashes compared to 40,000 human ones a year in the US. It's a very low bar.

When Tesla is 2x better, we'd be reckless not to use it immediately.

Except Tesla kills 3x more of it's drivers than competitor cars. https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/teslas-driver-fatality-r...

So depends on your measure. If you mean "on average" then yes. But it seems Tesla has a long way to go in other safety measures first.

If you watch the videos in the thread, the answer is it is far worse than the worst human driver you've ever seen.
