"You slowly build a relationship with it and understand where it will fail."

I spent over a decade working on production computer vision products. You think you can do this, and for some percentage of failures you can. The thing is, there will ALWAYS be some percentage of failure cases where you really can't perceive anything different from a success case.

If you want to trust your life to that, fine, but I certainly wouldn't.

Or until a software update quietly resets the relationship and introduces novel failure modes. There is little more dangerous on the road than false confidence.

Exactly. You may learn its patterns, but a software update could fuck it all up in a zillion different ways.

Yea he’s just dedicating his life on something that he knows won’t even work. What are you on about?

You and I might have a different view of reality. Teslas are among the safest vehicles on the road.
