    “He came up with a simple solution: getting the lane lines repainted on that pesky curve — which of course, didn’t actually address the underlying problem.”

    This is why Musk is not a technological genius or a technological thinker of any degree. If he was, he would’ve had a spark of a thought in that shallow brain of his, that says there could’ve been a more broader approach to tackle things like unpainted curves. Like thinking how the software could identify what’s a curve and what isn’t.

    No, his solution is to just go around and repaint every curve possible.

    Elon must be so disappointed in the poor programming that goes into his Teslas that they can’t even kill a pedestrian properly, it’d be morbidly ironic.

    almost ironic that musk has single handedly prevented auto pilot from actually being useful. Given how far ahead Tesla were early on, if they’d incorporated lidar they’d probably have a level 4 system by now.

        Yes. And, I shit you not, his reasoning is that humans only have 2 eyes and not LIDAR and we’re able to drive so that’s all a computer should need to drive too.
