not bothered with him as a person?
People kare disagreeing with me about this. She is an advocate of new technology, provided it has been thoroughly tested and documented. Her views are influenced by the F-18, quite distinctly. She also seeks diverse viewpoints.
Thus her views on Elon are mixed. Her reservations are almost entirely about release testing and documentation. Otherwise she’s supportive.
For some reason many of us assume she’s against TSLA interests because of some of her followers, because she does not answer some emails and because she has interests with lidar.
Elon has lidar interests and uses them with SpaceX.
Please. Try to take a rational view. Just because Biden is a union advocate is not an automatic reason to view all his appointments in a negative light.
For goodness sake, please read her actual papers. Check their content and sourcing. Ignore random tweets and/or lists of following/followers. If you were able to check mine you’d find I follow a number of people whose views I largely detest. I have zero interest in seeing only things with which I agree. Editing out all disagreement yields myopia or worse.
Ms. Cummings is a human being, a thoughtful person and a technically qualified one. She knows more about complex systems, including neural networks, than do almost all of us.
I do not expect to agree with her every utterance. I do expect to listen. There are only a few people who’ve lived with the consequences of inadequate vehicle automation with overly simplistic neural network design. (the F18). She also understands both overconfidence and lack of knowledge in operating vehicles with advanced systems.
We owe it to ourselves to be willing to understand that FSD and autopilot are far from perfect. I cannot be the only one who has been forced to disconnect to avoid an accident!
Tesla is making great progress, but it is not perfect. Every one of us has seem a software update that was a step back in some respect. It does not harm us to seek improved process control and consistent regulatory climate.
Who knows, Supercruise might be forced to notify loudly when it disconnects on a highway. Remember the agency has asked data from almost every OEM. Tesla is first and most covered because Tesla has more than does anybody else. Is that not sppropriate?

You are a shareholder, board member & derive substantial income from LIDAR manufacturer Veoneer, a direct competitor to Tesla who is eliminating LIDAR. Will you recuse yourself from all NHTSA decisions that involve Veoneer & their competitors? https://t.co/aX8CjaqCv2" / Twitter
