With last night’s news about a #Tesla hitting a #FireTruck, it’s a good time to repost this #Wired article on why #AutoPilot can’t see them.

tl;dr: because the #ML team at Tesla refuses to learn from 60 years of developing safety critical systems. #DualPhenomenology is a principle that says, “never have just one sensor when lives are involved”. Your $900 iPhone has LIDAR. Why not a $50K Tesla?
