Buy a Tesla if you want to see how AI can kill you.

He added that Tesla’s self-driving technology, Autopilot, has been involved in many fatal accidents. One of the most notorious accidents occurred in 2018, when an Apple engineer lost his life in a collision between the autopilot of his Tesla car.

Break the promises of Elon Musk

Wozniak also mentioned his disappointment with Elon Musk’s broken promises, including allowing Tesla cars to drive on their own across the country by the end of 2016. The Apple co-founder said he once believed Tesla cars could be made fully self-driving through a software update, but that” Not even close to reality “.

This isn’t the first time Steve Wozniak has expressed doubts about Tesla and its self-driving technology. He previously shared a negative experience with his Model S’ autopilot, which caused “phantom braking” and a sudden drop in his car’s speed.

Despite their differences, Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk seem to share some concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence. The two men signed an open letter calling for a halt to the development of new language paradigms to prevent potentially catastrophic effects of GPT-4-like artificial intelligence on society.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak revealed that he never had the chance to chat with Elon Musk. After his last interview, one wonders if such a meeting would ever take place. However, Steve Wozniak admitted his admiration for certain Elon Musk’s accomplishments, particularly the development of electric cars.

Wozniak’s words may sound exaggerated. Although accidents involving Teslas have made headlines, investigations have often found that the Autopilot system was rarely at fault. Human negligence is generally cited as the cause of these sometimes fatal accidents. This is not to say that Tesla’s FSD drive system does not present problems with its behavior on the open road. Successive updates show improvements, but it’s still hard to blindly trust the AI ​​capabilities developed by Tesla.

It should also be noted that Teslas are among the safest vehicles in the world, thanks in large part to their ADAS system. ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, is a suite of driving aids that improve driver safety and comfort. At Tesla, this system is often referred to as Autopilot (different from the FSD system).
