People drive 3.22 trillion miles a year. People wouldn't use cars if they weren't extremely safe on average. Having the freedom to learn about and drive with defensive techniques, and owning a car with modern safety features tip the odds even more in your favor. I can't find any stats on how many miles Autopilot drives per year but I'm betting it is a great vast amount less than 3.22 trillion miles a year. Couple that with the fact that Autopilot *chooses* where it functions, and the car is physically safe in the first place, Tesla should have a great deal less than 2 deaths under their belt to be on par with human safety levels.
I'm hoping for a government that gives a shit about it's citizens' well being and doesn't stand for an economy where people are desperate they need an Uber job to stay afloat. There is a certain form of slavery that pays the slave just enough to keep going, but not enough to have independence. It felt like a possibility during the Obama administration but now I think America is just fucked.
You are also at the mercy of the platform you run it on and you would hope your platform works for you as long as possible. Apple is putting themselves ahead of users, as usual. This is nothing different then removing a headphone jack.
Personally I like to include as many people as possible and not just think about my uses. I find eventually I will find myself in the 1% for something and I like when those 99% think of me.
So we need more? Self-driving is clearly not helping the situation. If they say they will save lives, they had better start explaining how and when this is going to happen. The current state of things today doesn't look good.
There are all kinds of issues with that stat. Look back to the last chain on Tesla, lots of problems with their test data. Anyway, it wasn't a study that was meant to show the safety of Tesla; they were investigating the first Tesla accident.
One day in the future, Facebook could look around and realize they have such a stranglehold on people's social lives that they start to charge a subscription fee *and* sell your privacy. That will be awesome.
You're talking about it like it is a service that is necessary to have for life. Believe it or not, people CAN choose to endorse NO social network if they want to and they'll be just fine.

That was what the electoral college was supposed to be for..... the system that gave us Trump.

Because that's pretty much a basic part of life?
..or a decision that the technology isn't mature enough to use on public roads yet.
You're absolutely right, no one should be enabling 'Autopilot' in a Tesla, ever, because it goes against defensive driving techniques.
Musk tried to spin it in his favor, like he always does, but this time he got called on it.

Uh, maybe I paid for software long ago that I want to keep using? It just goes to show you where Windows tends to shine.

I have no problem paying extra pennies if it makes someone's life easier.
But they don't have anywhere close to one millionth the car market. Furthermore, they don't have anywhere close to one millionth miles driven.
You are quoting an invalid statistic. The 40% one has been debunked many times. The point is there are *no* statistics.
So we need more? Self-driving is clearly not helping the situation. If they say they will save lives, they had better start explaining how and when this is going to happen. The current state of things today doesn't look good.
I don't think Musk cares how ridiculous it is. He cares that it absolves him from any legal responsibility.

That sounds stressful to me, not awesome.
.... and not Tesla's safety record will go up. Not because Autopilot works, but because people are shit scared their vehicles could kill them.
You may believe it, but there are ultimately no stats to show it. And on the other hand, it may just kill you.
One day in the future, Facebook could look around and realize they have such a stranglehold on people's social lives that they start to charge a subscription fee *and* sell your privacy. That will be awesome.
What if one of those other 9 googles charged you a small subscription instead of invading your privacy?
She's talking about ironic coincidences.. which both definitions mention.

Maybe we could use a different hand expression per site. I know what I am using for Facebook!
From your comment I expected to see a link to a definition that differed from Alanis Morissette's but it is the same; leaving me very confused.
