I read at least one thread per day criticizing Tesla self-driving (which has hundreds of highly-paid engineers working on it) as unreliable vaporware, meanwhile I'm supposed to hack my car with some code off a GitHub repo?

I'll be adding this to my list of 101 creative ways to die, behind basement apartment in Venice, Italy.

Creating an open source project makes a space for collaboration.

There is a future where every manufacturer shares the same self-driving software.

You already trust your privacy and financial security to open source projects. There is a future where you also trust it for a self driving car.

My thoughts exactly.

This is a horrible idea for a bunch of reasons.

Real driver assist systems are tested for each car for millions of miles before release.

I can imagine this as a toy on a recreational vehicle like an ATV, but it's outright reckless to put this on a real car.

Nobody is making you do this, they're not even charging you for it. Comparing to a company worth billions is disingenious.

Tesla FSD is awesome. I use it almost all the time now, it feels safer than me driving. It's like having a private chauffeur. My disengagements are mostly nav related.

Are you really expecting me to read this paragraph all by myself? What am I supposed to do, load some text off of a Hacker News comment section? I only read paragraphs written by teams of highly paid experts.
