How safe is the Tesla auto-drive system

[blup]

No artificial intelligence can predict what bad drivers are about to do to.
The days a self driven car will be able to safely navigate the roads of Cairo, Mumbai, Nairobi, Naples or Lagos are far, very far.

I can’t imagine self respecting Italian buying a car that drives itself

I'm more of an Easyjet person.

O'leary should probably be bounced though.

It’s a joke about Ryanair landing quickly to save fuel. Buts it’s also a real thing.

Apparently, having sex in a self driving car is now a "thing". So, they must be very safe.

Lordy me! The roads of Cairo are crazy....vehicles every which way, dodging a horse and cart here, a flock of sheep there; confused tourists...you may as well put your feet on the wheel and let chance dictate your fate.

I drove a minibus in Cairo 20 years ago.
Even though I'd learnt to drive in an Italian city, I found that challenging.
When you mentioned the sheep I remembered exactly that: sheep being guided in the middle of the busiest junction on the planet

I know, right! I wish i could've rode one of them camels down the street as the Arabs did just for that warm thrill of confusion, passing tourist coaches full of camera-wielding Japanese. Driving in Rome's a piece o' pie by comparison. "Va fa Napoli!"

Only if it's programmed to blare the horn every couple of minutes.

Couple of seconds!
Seriously, in some towns in Italy you're constantly blaring the horn just because they all do it...

It works fine in my experience, just the next logical progression of radar guided cruise control

I rode a bike round the roundabout at the end of the Champs-Élysées in 1982. The Arc de Triomphe.
That was terrifying!
