Another #1 for Florida: best roads.
(And we still have the pedal to the metal to do even better).

No doubt.
If we save on fuel costs, reduce mishaps through FSD and get lower insurance rates, that could be some real benefits for taxpayers when applied across the fleet.
And from a law enforcement/performance perspective, the Teslas are very fast and powerful. I’d imagine that would stack up favorably to legacy vehicles.

If self-driving cars are 8x safer than human drivers and we refuse to deploy them because of one bad case, we are choosing to let hundreds of thousands of people die per year to protect our feelings about control.

Yes but I’d imagine it’s a lot more costly than a cybertruck.
Be interesting to examine if there is potential cost savings across the fleet for various state agencies.

Wow!
FSD 14.3.2 just saved my cybertruck and 4 deer by stopping and swerving as I was going 73 mph in pitch dark at midnight.
I didn’t touch anything. I don’t even know if I would have even reacted so fast without avoid them.
So thankful for FSD 🙏🏼 This isn’t the first time it’s slowed for a deer but this is the most aggressive action it has taken to avoid and can clearly see how quick it is for reaction.
Well done @teslasi

Jason Cammisa on software-defined vehicles being @Tesla’s idea:
“The car (Model S) itself that I drove is nearly 10 years old. It drove itself the whole way. Think about that. My e-Golf is a 2019; it left the factory, and it’s static from here on out. But here is this car (Model S) that has evolved and gotten additional features, and it can f**cking drive itself. It pulled into the parking lot. What 10-year-old car in the industry gains features? None. That’s when you start to think this company is just different.”

Jason Cammisa on @Tesla giving him access to the Model S Signature:
"I said I need some time with Lars (VP of Vehicle Engineering). And they said: "we'll do one better. Let's get Lars and Franz and we'll send 45 minutes together." It ended up being 3 hours; These are the coolest guys you'll meet. They are total car, data and engineering nerds."

The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

Tesla self-driving saves a lot of lives – the statistics are unequivocal.
That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, of course.
Even when we improve safety 10X, saving 90% of the million lives lost in auto accidents every year, Tesla will still get sued for the 10% who did die. The 90% who are still alive mostly won’t even know that Tesla saved them.
Nonetheless, it is the right thing to do.
