Summary
A Tesla car which has a self-driving system brought second crash accident in Pennsylvania. The Model X car hit a guard rail and veered to the eastward lane, and the driver and a passenger was injured. Tesla insisted the Autopilot has nothing to do with the accident. According to a response to the first accident in Florida, the Autopilot is an auto-assist system rather than autonomous system. The National Traffic Safety Administration has said an auto systems needed to be twice as safe as the manual systems.
Opinion
I think an auto driving system is dangerous in the present age and we should not introduce the system in the life of people. A self driving system of Tesla cars caused two accidents accidents. It is too early to depend on the auto system because the technology does not has enough safety yet. Even if the system is improved in the future, there are also still problems. It is a conflict between human and computers. We want to turn the steering to left to prevent from accidents but computer says “Turn right”. We can solve this problem by setting that human gets a decision when the conflict occurred. However, can we deal with the urgent accident which even computer hesitates to judge?
We should not touch the auto driving system because there is no 100%.
