There's a very simple solution to autonomous driving vehicles plowing into walls, cars, or people:
Congress will pass a law that makes NOBODY liable -- as long as a human wasn't involved in the decision making process during the incident.
This will be backed by car makers, software providers, and insurance companies, who will lobby hard for it. After all, no SINGLE person or company made the decision to swerve into oncoming traffic. Surely they can't be held liable. 🤷🏻♂️
Once that happens, Level 4 driving will come standard and likely be the default mode on most cars. Best of luck everyone else!
Kids already have experience playing hopscotch, so we can just have them jump between the rooves of moving cars in order to cross the street! It will be so much more efficient, and they can pretend that they are action heroes. The ones who survive will make for great athletes too.
There's a reason GenX trained on hopper. Too bad the newer generations don't have something equivalent

Still think LIDAR is inferior to computer vision, Elon?
He never thought about it in the first place.

To be fair, the roadrunner it was following somehow successfully ran into the painting.
To be fair, I'd be surprised if half the humans driving didn't do the same.

A fitting metaphor for Musky and their involvement with the US government.
