My CompE Master's and my previous work in vision-based AI collision detection systems has left me woefully unprepared to have educated and qualified experience for this exact topic.

That's awesome! Would you share more with us about the research you conducted with Tesla's AutoPilot, and specifically what makes it "experimental"?

I never mentioned children

How convenient, you avoided answering the question at all!

Here you go:

As I suspected, nothing points to the notion that this was caused by AutoPilot. It's caused by inattentive drivers.

This is nothing but shit "journalism" playing on whatever is "hot" and trendy.

I'm sure the 17+ dead human lives really appreciate this "protection".

There are no dead human lives. You're just making that up.

dismissing the findings of engineers close to the technology due to your own biases is incredibly ignorant.

I don't have any biases. "Ignorant" is claiming that a driver assistance system is responsible for driver inattentiveness.

Bye bye now.

Hey welcome back!

Why the accidents happen is not why I commented.

That's literally the entire point of the article in OP. You repeatedly blamed Autopilot for several deaths. If that's not the point, what is?

Says the person that literally drives a Tesla with Autopilot

That doesn't inherently make me biased. I can and will gladly talk shit about all the dumb shit Tesla does. There's plenty of it to go around without fabricating nonsense.

You've favored your own 10k+ miles over an ex-Tesla employee and refuse to accept reported data

You keep repeating this and I keep correcting you. I'm not doing it again. I've been abundantly clear about this several times at this point. That's not what's happening. If you want to argue with a strawman, feel free to do that with yourself.

Your ignorance is due to you believing your personal anecdotal evidence is qualified in any way to dismiss Autopilot issues as an experiment.

It absolutely is. It doesn't require anything more. That's just a fact.
