New Tesla software to offer 'full' autonomy, Musk says

I see dead people. (In other words: every time this is announced, users take it at face value, ignore the small print that says "um eh well not really, actually not at all," and people die, directly from that. Case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17257239 - I do not believe that a software update can go from this to that under half a year. Sorry for offending the technooptimists.)

What's the point? Even if it were to be true, there's no regulation and approval for it to be used on public roads. Seems like another PR stunt from tesla to induce hype.

When does this level of rhetoric approach criminal negligence? From the previous HN discussions about Tesla’s,s running into stationary objects, the problem seems like a fundamental design issue not likely to be fixed with software. This has already killed people. What happens when some poor person relies on Musk’s ‘full autonomy’ and gets killed?

Elon Musk is the Elizabeth Holmes of self driving cars.

> "To date, Autopilot resources have rightly focused entirely on safety. With V9, we will begin to enable full self-driving features," he said.

Running cars into medians at 70 mph is the result of "focus[ing] entirely on safety?" Now they're going to focus on other things, besides safety?
