Ok, let’s focus on the technical aspects.

Tesla has no safety life cycle process and as a result FSD is inherently unsafe, from the engineering point of view.

You can try to hand wave over that, but if you are an engineer working on the safety critical systems (it’s an actual engineering field), that’s all you need to know about FSD.



How will you discretely identify every problem to be solved in the domain of live real drivers in real world conditions? Applying a model of an industrial plant where machines interface with machines, and occasionally humans in prescribed and orderly functions, will not get you any closer to safety.

What will get you closer to safety is insanely large corpus of real world data being trained on in a continuous feedback loop.


Ask Boeing how ignoring it works out.


Which Boeing execs ended their career in disgrace after killing hundreds of people in pursuit of lower training costs ?


Dennis Muilenburg.

189 people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Air_Flight_610

157 people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Airlines_Flight_30...

That's 346 people killed.

Here's an article about his being fired in disgrace after this: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/23/business/Boeing-ceo-muile...


Wow, totally missed anyone at all was held accountable for that. It’s not much but something at least.


You are not actually focusing on technical aspects. You are focusing on regulatory credentials and bureaucratic process. Focusing on technical aspects would mean looking at actual data from on road performance.


Design process and lifecycle of the product and development is not a technical aspect only at startups building apps to share cat photos.
