Currently, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation do not heavily regulate SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous driving systems. Similarly, there is no federal requirement for vehicles using L2 semi-autonomous setups to record data during crashes. This means most automakers can’t comply with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s standing general order to provide certain data following crashes involving L2-operating vehicles, which leaves federal safety regulators and investigators to pick up the pieces themselves after a crash.[…]
NTSB officials also questioned Ford about its BlueCruise system and speeding. The semi-autonomous system allows for intelligent adaptive cruise control up to 20 mph above the speed limit, a fact that investigators cited as a factor in the Philadelphia crash. Similarly, NTSB officials were troubled that automatic emergency braking could be disabled when using hands-free BlueCruise. When asked about the testing regimen for L2 semi-autonomous systems, Dr. Becic said most automakers do not test for the worst-case, most distracted human driver when developing L2-related driver monitoring and alerting systems.
Ordering a self-driving car should be grounds for a lifetime driving prohibition.
Allowing self-driving cars on the road should be grounds for an immediate life jail term.
Not self-driving, but maybe it should have been. Driver nowhere to be found. Can’t imagine whyhttps://x.com/i/status/2040429972599291987

One booger eatin’ moron commented that fossil fuel needs to be done away with.
What’s worse? Self-driving car with “driver” asleep in the back seat, or 18 wheeler with no-English TFW driver, texting his mom in Cr@pcanistan?
I’m going to say that although both are very, very bad, at least the self-driving car won’t deliberately try to kill you, and they don’t race each other while texting. And it’s smaller than an 18 wheeler.
The driving public are involuntary guinea pigs. I’m certain there’s a vaccine we can take…
I use radar adaptive cruise all the time. Mainly to keep from accidently speeding too much. (A 2019 Toyota). It has self steer, but if you take your hands off the wheel for 3 seconds it starts to alarm and cuts out. I don’t believe there is any restriction on what speed you can set, certainly not location dependent.
I would love a self-driving car. I would never want a Communist Party-driven car. But how could I confidently tell the difference?
