"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers (www.commondreams.org)

Elektrek also crunched some numbers based on data released by Tesla last month and estimated that the Tesla Robotaxis are involved in a crash for every 40,000 miles they drive. For comparison, the publication reported, cars driven by humans crash about once every 500,000 miles, meaning the Robotaxis so far have crashed 12.5 times more frequently than human-driven cars.

All of the Robotaxi crashes so far have occurred with human safety monitors—who have been trained to take control of the car in the event of a software error—present in the vehicles.

This is significant because, as TechCrunch reported on Monday, Tesla is starting to send out its Robotaxi fleet without safety monitors.

meanwhile, over at Waymo...

The difference between letting the engineers use all the sensors instead of trying to get by with only cameras for Elons ego is astounding.

I don't know why anyone should trust Waymo's self-reported statistics.

But I also have zero doubt that whatever their actual stats are, Tesla's are significantly worse.

Because if the stats were faked, waymo would be subject to an investor lawsuit.

As we all know, no company has ever faked something for years and then faced a lawsuit when investors found out about it later.

There's a reason why the phrase lies, damned lies, and statistics has remained relevant for over a century.
