Tesla withdraws beta 10.3 of Full Self Driving software due to issues – Sound and Vision – News

Quince. Then you drive very special if you are surprised so often, I dare say that you are tired.

Totally unrecognizable what you’re saying here. If you’re just actively driving you won’t be surprised, then you’re anticipating yourself and that means you don’t look ‘too late’ at all, you already knew what was going on in front of you before you looked back. And that also means that you would take the foot off the pedal much earlier than Autopilot, for example. Much more gradually, or not at all, because the situation requires it or because it is also more convenient for others. In this way, you are also communicating with other road users at the same time as a result of your driving behaviour. For example, give space. Things that a system doesn’t do at all.

The dynamics are completely different in ‘system’ driving in traffic, I want to say. When I see the effect of all ACC on newer cars (and mine) I can tell you that it mainly encourages herd behavior with subsequent inattention, people sticking center or left at 80-90 km/h and more of that beauty. Promoting the flow certainly does not do that. And Autopilots also don’t automatically drive the farthest right when possible. I also regularly give Tesla drivers high beams because they continue to drive in a left lane at 95 or are simply doing something else. In any case, the percentage of totally apathetic drivers is increasing these days, and quite high in general.

The idea that ‘systems drive better than drivers’ is a farce. That only works if you completely hand over your vehicle. Until that moment we are massively fooling each other with that nonsense. The key question should be: do you want your car to be controlled by a system, or do you prefer to have things in your own hands. I know, give me the second, even if a system works flawlessly. Flawless does not mean that it works in your interest, nor does it mean that it cannot break.

Furthermore, autonomous driving also contributes to the dystopia we are heading for, that of zero freedom and control over what you do and how you do it. You forget everything that you no longer have to do yourself, and with that you lose control. The next generation does not want it anymore, because it is not possible, too difficult, or too much effort. We are demonstrably getting lazier. Even language is subject to erosion in that way, because ‘you get what I mean, don’t you?’ is more popular than correct writing and speaking. Meanwhile, the d/t mistakes are even on the street advertising, more than once along with a sentence structure that a preschooler would not yet come up with. Universities experience that students are less able to organize information. Search works, but save, why should you? The search engine is nearby. All useful, that information within reach, but net we demonstrably know less than before, we just have more information. Many people no longer appreciate that value, see the social media excesses and how they seep into the real world. It’s all more of the same, autonomous thinking and acting is outsourced and done by systems. Meanwhile, we discover that we develop systems that are only an expression of ourselves (and our pitfalls), witness the experiences with ML and AI. Tunnel vision.

Bottom line, we are made more dependent, and that is at odds with freedom but also with personal development. You should not want this at all, that service society in which everything is presented to you and in which behavior is digitized.
