All of that firmware that isn't a self driving autopilot blackbox is probably quite safe. Such as anti-lock breaks and fuel injection timing.

I am never going to put my life in the hands of some software doing image analysis using machine learning.

Well...on your car, at least. I'm not sure how comforting that approach is when you're surrounded on the interstate by Tesla "FSD"s.

Ironically, I feel at much more ease driving surrounded by Tesla "FSD"s, as opposed to being surrounded by average Seattle drivers. At least FSD always uses turn signals when switching lanes and is way more cautious (while still remaining reasonable).

Back when I spent a full year commuting to work daily on a motorcycle, Teslas with "FSD" were the least of my worries. All while people who sharply switched into my lane in front of me with no turn signals used, they ended up almost killing me a couple of times.

I'm ok with doing a bit of defensive driving against Teslas or bad drivers in general.
