driverless cars: the future or a danger?

tesla's "technological soul" - fully autonomous driving technology, seems to carry the imagination of the future of mankind. however, the reality is not so simple. experts say that although the progress of autonomous driving technology is exciting, its safety and reliability still need to be further improved.

from a technical perspective, tesla's "driverless" mode presents many challenges. cameras and computer systems are not always able to accurately identify objects in bad weather and dark environments. even self-driving cars equipped with radar and laser sensors may not always be able to drive reliably. professor cummings explained: "if you can't observe the world correctly, you can't plan, act, and adapt to the world correctly." this observation ability is the cornerstone of tesla's "driverless", but its application in the real world faces challenges.

in recent years, self-driving taxi companies such as waymo and cruise have also been actively exploring self-driving technology, striving to improve its safety and reliability by combining radar and laser sensors. however, even with advanced technology, risks cannot be completely eliminated. professor koopman pointed out: "machine learning has no common sense and can only learn narrowly from a large number of examples." this means that even with powerful technology, self-driving cars may be in danger of crashing when faced with situations they have never learned before.

in 2023, tesla recalled its fully autonomous driving system. these recalls are intended to strengthen its autonomous vehicle driver monitoring system to cope with various complex situations in the real world. nhtsa said that tesla's autopilot system may violate traffic regulations in some cases and increase the risk of accidents. although tesla electric vehicles have reduced prices, sales have been poor. musk has emphasized that tesla should be regarded as a robot and artificial intelligence company, not a car company.

however, the test drive experience of technology analyst william stein showed the real dilemma of autonomous driving technology. his test drive experience showed that it still has shortcomings in terms of safety and reliability. this is quite different from musk's prediction and public expectations. regulators and industry experts are concerned about tesla's safety and reliability, and call on tesla to improve and perfect its technology to eventually meet the expectations of all users.
