Re:Tesla asks owners to share fewer clips of FSD beta mistakes by gadnuk on Tuesday September 28, 2021 @07:07PM (#28688509)
I wish that companies who do such kind of "beta testing" on public roads would put indicators on cars that the car is running FSD Beta. That way, I know that I should also be extra cautious as the Tesla car is capable of doing some weird moves

If you want to train your ‘beta’ neural network because it isn’t ready yet, use a fucking lab. I, as a non-Tesla car driver, did not sign up to be around cars that are using buggy and potentially dangerous technology. I have no idea why the NHSTA isn't clamping down hard on this.

Yes, I know I will get downvoted by Tesla apologists. I have nothing against making strides in technology, but a technology like this which is nowhere near Level 4 FSD, let alone Level 5, should not be distributed so widely without it being regulated and deemed safe for ALL drivers on the road (and pedestrians, animals, properties, etc).

I agree, this is the very least they should be doing if they're determined to unleash a beta product that can kill people onto the non-consenting public. My solution in the meantime is to treat every Tesla driver I encounter on the road as if they're drunk.

Whenever there's a problem with FSD, Tesla is quick to point out that "it's only a beta" as if it's only the car owner's concern and responsibility for choosing to opt-in to a beta test. As someone who has to share the road with beta testers and beta products, I never got to opt in or out to being tested on like a guinea pig.

Truthfully, it should be illegal for companies to externalize their own beta testing on to the public when it comes to products that can kill and maim. It blows my mind because driving itself is highly regulated as it is, yet this is given a pass by regulators.

Do you also put a bumper-sticker on your car to warn other drivers when you didn't get a good night's sleep, when you're on the phone, when you've had a stressful day?

We, as humans, understand, perceive, predict, and know how to react to human errors much better than to AI errors. FSD in its current state is unpredictable by human drivers. It makes mistakes no human would make. Defensive driving is all about thinking ahead about what might happen and be ready to react appropriately. We cannot think ahead when it comes to FSD, because it does things humans just don't and no one is trained to predict.
