Raw LLM Responses

Solid technical understanding here, so much better than 99% of the mass media and other Youtubers out there. Even when self-driving AI avoids 99% of the accidents due to human factors, which is the majority of accidents, there's always a chance it will cause an accident that a human would otherwise avoid. The most egregious human errors will be gone, but weird AI errors will come to life... It can and will be fixed, it just takes time for the AI to learn. Radar isn't necessary, more data and more training is. Tesla DOES use lidar, but they use it for validation of the Vision AI. The Vision AI is confirmed by lidar data on test rigs. Tesla is working on Vision AI because the technology needs to be affordable enough to be ubiquitous, relying on radar and lidar make that difficult. Right now, 100% of the motorcycles hit by Tesla cars are the fault of the driver of the car. You're not supposed to take your eyes off the road, that's clear to everyone using Autopilot, the car will constantly badger you and remind you to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. It uses the internal camera to track your eyes, and can sense your hands on the wheel. It's going to be a long road to fully autonomous driving, and we're not there yet. Bad things will happen along the way, and mistakes will be made. Little comfort to the dead, but that's how all things work in the pursuit of advanced technology and safety. Airbags have killed people, but they're mandatory because they've saved far more people than they've killed.
