      I completely agree. It is irresponsible of Musk to distort #ai progress. That has led to multiple fatalities. I would not sit in a driverless car today. The world has a long tail. Lots of failure modes. We need regulation. We need testing.https://twitter.com/Captsully/status/1154553807658999808 …

      Tesla announced the launch of so-called “full self-driving” features that are largely unregulated as soon as this year. This should concern everyone who will share the same streets as a driver or pedestrian. https://wapo.st/2XYJcLZ  via @washingtonpost

      I mostly agree, but human drivers are pretty terrible too so you don’t have to go too far down the long tail to be safer than the average person...

      We have an intuitive understanding how humans make mistakes but not for #ai. Too many failure modes. Lack of calibration. Lack of testing. Tesla ran straight into a concrete block. It hit a white trailer. it's dangerous for this reason. @Captsully

          In general I agree with Musk's optimism about AI progress but categorizing Tesla as a not a safe car is wrong. Tesla Model 3 is the safest car ever tested by both NHTSA and euro NCAP that included active safety features like forward collision breaking for pedestrians.

          Re: "hit a concrete block" - this is an important point, but it's completely one-sided. The types of mistakes AI will make will be significantly different from human mistakes. We need to talk about both - there are plenty of mistakes human drivers make that an AI will never make.

          Re: "it's dangerous for this reason" - human limitations make human-operated cars dangerous! We're just so used to it (and the 10,000s of deaths each year) that we just accept it :-(.

          Those are outliers, can’t stop progress if there are risks, what is risk of doing nothing? where would the human race be if we stayed in the cave avoiding predators? Progress is not w/o some risk, hard to measure what crashes didn’t happen b/c of AP, very Statistically safe car
