I think it's fair to "get mad" at those who produce and profit by making and selling guns and hold them responsible for murders committed with them. Same with Tesla.
In both of those cases the manufacturer knows they can be deadly, and that they cause deaths. I won't make any leaps to try and disconnect those facts.
I make and sell software. If my software was causing folks to die I would stop selling it. It wouldn't matter at all if the users misused it.
And to extend that analogy, let's say Smith and Wesson made a gun that was marketed as having a safety, but in reality the safety didn't fully work and every now and then someone was killed because the gun unexpectedly went off.
I'm gonna guess we wouldn't have folks coming out defending Smith and Wesson and blaming the owner.
Oh, but you absolutely would. You should not be pointing a loaded gun in the direction of a human being, safety or not, unless you intend to kill them.
The self-driving is oversold. People who have driven with Autosteer and Autopilot will know that you should not let go of the wheel if there is any irregularity in the road, the traffic, or even the weather.
I just can’t understand how gullible people are if they let the car steer unattended in an adversarial environment. It makes several really bad choices per hour! But then again, maybe programmers are generally more pessimistic about the reliability of software systems
"When a Tesla slams into anything, the person in the driver's seat of a Tesla is at fault. If they thought FSB meant they didn't need to be driving, they were willfully ignoring the truth."
So we're just gonna ignore that Tesla literally calls the feature "Full Self Driving"?
I can't imagine how people are getting the impression they can let their attention waver...
Seems like quite a lot?
SPOONER:
The truck smashed our cars together...
and pushed us into the river.
I mean, metal gets pretty
pliable at those speeds.
She's pinned. I'm pinned.
The water's coming in.
I'm a cop, so I already
know everybody's dead.
Just a few more minutes
before we figure it out.
An NS-4 was passing by...
saw the accident and
jumped in the water.
[flashback]
NS-4 ROBOT:
You are in danger.
SPOONER: Save her!
NS-4 ROBOT: You are in danger.
SPOONER:
Save her! Save the girl! Save her!
[realtime]
SPOONER: But it didn't.
It saved me.
CALVIN: The robot's brain is a difference engine.
It reads vital signs. It must have calculated...
SPOONER: --It did. I was the logical choice.
It calculated that I had a 45
percent chance of survival.
Sarah only had an 11 percent chance.
That was somebody's baby.
Eleven percent is more than enough.
A human being would have known that.
Robots, nothing here.
Just lights and clockwork.
*Go ahead and you trust them if you want to.*I'm not a Tesla apologist, I just can't make sense of raw numbers where we would naturally try to make a comparison.
