    I’m convinced that the self-driving AI from competent companies is better than human drivers already. The bar isn’t perfection, the bar is the average driver, and the average driver is bad.

    Having said that, I’d never get in a car with Tesla’s self-driving solution. Musk polluted the term “full self-driving” to cars that definitely weren’t.

      No, the bar is accountability. If the FSD screws up either:

      1. It’s claimed the driver was responsible, in which case it’s absolutely not FSD
      2. Someone other than the driver is investigated and cleared/convicted of wrong doing.

      It absolutely does not matter that it’s better than an “average” driver. If the best driver in the world screws up, they are still held accountable.
