    I think the fair comparison would be humans that drive legally.
    Idiots that drive high or drunk or without prescription glasses or whatever, shouldn’t count as “normal” human driving.
    In the same way a self driving car can have issues that will make it illegal.

    The problem is that legal self driving Tesla is not as safe as a legal person. I sees poorly at night, it gets confused in situations people handle routinely. And Tesla is infamous for not stopping when the road is blocked from 1m and up, and for breaking without reason. I’ve seen videos where they demonstrated an unnecessary break every ½ hour!! Where a large part was the German Autobahn, which is probably some of the easiest driving in the world!!

      Humans don’t drive legally. I don’t believe for a second there is a human on this planet who has never violated a rule of the road. The easy default is that we all speed.

      Who hasn’t done a rolling stop at a stop sign? Taken a turn they legally shouldn’t have? (No U turns? lol) Taken a right on red when it says not to but there’s literally nobody around?

      Cell phones are mostly illegal everywhere while driving and if you look around almost everyone is staring at them.

      This mythical person who never, ever does anything against the rules is impossible.

          The way I edited the quote, it was just a like joke about braking vs breaking.

          Like I could make a pedantic reply about spelling, but no teslas in fact brake unexpectedly AND break unexpectedly. So, no notes!

              No worries. I’m glad I explained it then!

              The first thing that comes to mind for popular media using “no notes” the way I did is probably John Oliver. I spent 10 seconds stacking for a clip or a montage of him saying it but came up empty.
