alt Hacker NewsIf one claims that an error at a railroad gate can be catastrophic and therefore FSD should be disabled in that situation, how does one ethically reconcile that with enabling FSD on any regular street with pedestrians?
The principal difference that comes to mind is that in the latter case it would be catastrophic to others as opposed to yourself: you are the train in that situation, except pedestrians have no airbags and without the railroad gate equivalent they are not made aware of taking this risk.
That’s a very interesting way to look at it! But my reasoning for continuing to do what I do is that FSD is bad at thin gates and much better at avoiding pedestrians. So it’s not an all or nothing thing for me.
