Helping to educate on AD Tech. FSD? AV? ADAS? Level 2? Level 4? Autonomous? Lets call it what it is. Views expressed are mine alone and not my employer's

Not sure who needs to hear this

Innovation in automotive engineering is fast and easy if you ignore safety. The hardest, longest, most expensive part of the engineering process is designing in system safety and then proving a feature is safe enough for public use.

@ItaliAuto I have one too.... 😁

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

This is consistent with FSD and AV industry experts. There is a pattern

Sub-Optimal: Last night’s @Tesla demo, and why so many roboticists were underwhelmed.

"Humanoid robots are easy harder than Musk seems to think"

This is consistent with L4 camera only FSD Robotaxis as well

Fantastic article on the facts around ADAS and AV system regulation/approvals or rather the lack of them. Read and learn 👇

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Strange but true: The feds can block dangerous new software if it’s for a plane – but not if it’s for a car.

The US urgently needs to revamp its regulatory system for an era of autonomous driving.

Presented without comment

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive I agree. These L2 systems like AP, FSD, GM SC and F BC are not safety systems. They are convenience ADAS and do not make driving safer. The human still needs to ensure safety. They make driving easier.
AEB, Ped Braking, ESC, LKA make driving safer

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

This is yet another article in which "self driving" is construed to be an AI system that will make the right decisions. For the umpteenth time..
AP/FSD are L2 ADAS and the uninformed, misled drivers are always responsible for the safety of the vehicle.

@BrandonLive I appreciate your comments Average customers are not like you and I. For them its extremely plausible that robotaxis are only a couple sw updates away so hey! Why not let AP or FSD drive me home? It's self driving right?
This is the narrative that has caused so many AP accidents

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive We're not going to agree on this. Tweeting "lofty aspirations" and telling financial analysts on earning calls that robotaxis are right around the corner is irresponsible, self serving, and reckless.

You and others can buy into his BS but people who know, well... they know.

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive YOU might get that. Many others want to believe. I'm sorry but any implication that this system will "someday" be autonomous is irresponsible, negligent and dangerous. There are many many people who are not technically knowledgeable in this area and over trust these systems

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive I also agree that too many assumptions are made for specific incidents. There can be many contributing factors.

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive @JamesHoffmann3 On this we agree. The article is garbage but I see it as the author taking Musk at his word

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@BrandonLive The disclaimers make it clear. The tweets do not. Please show me a Musk tweet that says:
FSD is an ADAS and drivers must pay attention at all times to insure safety.
I don't know why you give Musk a pass on this

He's the #1 #autonowashing offender.

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

@JamesHoffmann3 Agree. It really has the tone of FSD being a poor AV system rather than the vision only L2 ADAS it is

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

This is the problem. Customer expectations are set by #Autonowashing Musk. People really need to understand $15k FSD is a L2 ADAS reqng an attend driver at all times and will never be a L4 robotaxi. Then decide if it's worth it.

[AutonoDriver @AutonoD]

This isn't surprising
