What’s the news?
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has expressed strong criticism of Tesla’s self-driving efforts, stating that those interested in studying “AI trying to kill you” should “get a Tesla.”
Steve has had a pretty complex relationship with Tesla because he purchased a Model S class Tesla and publicly praised the vehicle but then he decided to replace the vehicle with Chevy Bolt and he ultimately kept the Tesla only.
Wozniak has suggested that Tesla vehicles on FSD were attempting to “kill people adding that such claims were “not even close to reality.”
Wozniak claimed Tesla “oversold” its self-driving capabilities in a Bloomberg interview. He suggested that Wozniak criticizes Tesla’s existing Autopilot technology as more of a “driver-assist” feature that necessitates constant driver attention than a truly autonomous system. The company’s reliance on cameras and sensors, which Wozniak criticizes Tesla feels are ineffective in all driving circumstances, was another point of contention.
Wozniak’s remarks come at a time when Tesla’s Autopilot system is coming under more scrutiny, particularly in the wake of numerous high-profile incidents. The technology has been criticized for not being advanced enough to function securely without human interaction.
