Mark then posted the ‘raw footage’ on twitter. This also shows autopilot disengage before impact, but shows it was engaged at 42mph. This was a seprate take.

No. That’s by design. The “autopilot” is made to disengage when any likely collision is about to occur to try to reduce the likelihood of someone finding them liable for their system being unsafe.

It probably doesn’t help that the tech in question, LLMs, are kinda shit, to put it plainly. You make the shiniest, most polished turd and it’s still just a turd. They are interesting and can be neat to play with but, they lack practical applications where cost to run them actually makes sense and benefits humanity. The iPod shuffle was more impactful, when measuring positive impact on people’s lives.

The fact that I can’t trust the AI message to be remotely factual makes that sort of use case pointless to me. If I grep and sift through docs, I’ll have better comprehension of what I’m trying to figure out. With AI slop, I just end up having to hunt for what it messed up, without any context, wasting my time and patience.
