        They’re also accepting full liability if anything happens while using this feature so it’s actually a type of insurance

          Ok, then I’ll do it if I don’t have to pay for other insurance on the car.

          I wonder how much cheaper it will make auto insurance. I also wonder if this will open transportation options those who have lost a license.

            Not this. It’s limited to specific scenarios on specific roads. So you’re going to need a licensed driver.

            Eventually with actually full self driving? I’d hope so, though it’s going to take legislation first.

          I kinda like that system because eventually people will put their own OSes on the car, which the manufacturer obviously can’t cover. Having separate insurance/service eliminates having to pay for it if you’re accepting the liability yourself.

      Have you seen Tesla’s price for full self driving? And they don’t take liability

        full

        lmao Elon you clown

        Such an impressive tech… absolutely in its infancy and outrageously irresponsibly marketed. Requires a decent number of manual takeovers - thus probably most ethical to require some ongoing training (e-learning at least), especially before receiving a new update.

        Do I think <10 deaths would occur on California roads if all vehicles were “F”SD Teslas? Yeah, so safer than human Californians today, but the “Full” part is just so stupid.
