Why the world is not yet ready for driverless cars?

Because the world is full of idiots who do not read user agreements and trying to use things not for their intended purpose and capabilities. This once again proved the company Tesla Elon musk and some videos published on YouTube by "heroes of the occasion", but trying to look victims in the eyes of others.

In early October of this year it became known that the owners of the cars Tesla Model S will have the opportunity to test a new software update that, among other things, adds electrocare some of the functions of the autopilot.





Recently an update called Version 7 got to eager to try the owners of these cars. Thanks to the available on-Board Model S sensors, sensors, cameras and radar, the car can change lanes (when the driver turns the corresponding indicator), to observe the distance between the front of the car to hold speed mode, if necessary, to stop, and then continue.

The people, delighted at having before them a full autopilot, hastened, not reading (or not reading the user agreement) to use it as a full electronic driver. Only thing is that in this user agreement clearly States that the system "autopilot" is only intended for use on large motorways, are unloaded from the car congestion and do not have road signs on either side of the vehicle, which can enter the system in error. In addition, the system is provided as "beta" and therefore the driver must constantly control the situation, not to remove his hands from the steering wheel and to be always ready to seize control of the car.

However, there are people on the Ground who wanted to spit on all these user agreement and the user. Give them all at once.

One of the most striking examples is the video below where the man was smart enough to make money on a car worth about $ 100,000, but not smart enough to read the relevant instructions for its operation, trying to use the function of "autopilot" on a narrow suburban road, ignoring information security, which he said the car (namely the big red steering sign on the dashboard and an audible signal that informs the person that he had his hands on the wheel and not picking her nose). Ignoring these messages, people almost cause an accident as the car, entangled in the testimony (and very uneven road surface), almost left on a strip of oncoming traffic where it nearly collided with an oncoming SUV.





In the second video, man too neglects the information of the user and trying to use the system "autopilot" on the road junction where it is strictly forbidden to do. The result of this decision can be viewed below.





People don't realize that this update does not make them self-driving car. They do not realize that the autopilot function is designed primarily to help the driver not to drive the car for him. It's just an advanced cruise control that simplifies driving a car worth about $ 100,000.

When using the system under the conditions corresponding to the user and the user agreement, it shows fine, as you can see in the video below.





Described cases is only a drop in the bucket, but if they the fault of one of Elon musk and Tesla? Most likely, Yes. They did not realize that the world is full of stupid people.
