Study Finds Self-Driving Cars Are Safer Unless They Have to Turn

I couldn’t resist.
SO ARE MOST RAILROADS. 😜

Anyway, for what it’s worth,

The researchers found that self-driving cars are generally safer unless they have to turn or operate at dawn or dusk. But that almost never happens, right?

There’s a brief discussion of vision/light-only FSD at Hacker News.

It points to a tweet, and most people can see only the first tweet, and no replies.

One reply links to “The FSD Timeline”

Keep digging (but only in a straight line and not at dawn and dusk)
