I’ll blame the auto pilot. It’s good enough to train people to not pay attention, but not good enough to be fully driverless. So the users are being trained to fully trust something they can’t fully trust.

If you were trying to teach a new driver how to drive, you wouldn’t do 99.9% of the driving for them, and then randomly throw them into the driver’s seat when there’s an emergency. That’s not how you would get a good driver, that’s how you would get a bunch of accidents. We know that at the human level. If you want to train a driver, you let them practice on the easy stuff, you keep them engaged, you keep them thinking about it.

The Tesla semi-automated self-driving, is the reverse, all the easy stuff the computer does, the rare emergency difficult stuff the human has to do. But they get no practice. It’s like the gold standard of how to create accidents
