Re: Looks like exactly the sort of failure you'd expect from beta firmware
Self-Driving means that the vehicle is capable of driving under normal road conditions. That is highly variable with fixed and moving objects. Then you have all the signs, marking and the GPS that is actually telling it where to go.
At the moment self-driving is barely functional under ideal test conditions let alone real world.
Arguments that road markings and signage needs to be improved to (try) to make self-driving vehicles work are rather defeating the object of self-driving.
Perhaps Musk would like to pay to for all the upgrades say in the US or UK so that one of his vehicles is less likely to go round destroying things or people. Crucially, Tesla (and preferably the developers/management as well) have to be liable when it goes wrong. It is this last step that seriously pisses me off. Nothing has been done to resolve liability when something goes wrong.
