That road was completely empty and that guy must have just caved in and started looking at his phone. You didn’t see a motorcycle with functioning head and tail lights at 1AM? Sure. The article says these crashes are because of Tesla cutting corners but everyone who has access to FSD is made aware that this is beta software and that human intervention might be needed at any time. It’s definitely the drivers fault, not Tesla. I don’t want an entire division of the self-driving effort to be killed because of some frumpy journalists.

Humans will human. I'd you give someone a system that doesn't require their attention or put significant effort into holding it for long enough, they WILL quit focusing on it and become distracted. Especially in something like a car where they can't get up and move around to keep alert. If your system doesn't account for the human, your system is faulty.

Right and this has been known across a broad range of activities for a long time and is exactly why a reasonable company like Waymo decided against providing better driver assistance and instead focused only on actual self driving.

If system marketed as self-driving can't notice other road users in those conditions it should be banned from use until it can. I could reasonably accept if there was very heavy fog or blizzard limiting human visibility to a few meters. Anything else, shut it all down and let them prove that it can not ever happen again.

Doesn’t make sense when it can never exist unless it grows on the road, regardless of which company you’re talking about, and also when it’s already statistically safer than humans. If your standard is “never ever again” then you either have to admit that you want all cars banned or that you’re wrong.
