Tesla Autopilot: AI Advancements Overshadowed by User Error
Poster Number
10A
Introduction/Abstract
Tesla has been collecting data, writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code, and responding to critics of AI to be at the top of technological advances. With the introduction of autopilot, users have been under the impression that Tesla vehicles are able to drive on their own, when it is clearly written and stated that driver supervision is always needed. The available data will show the actual cases where the AI failed or if the accident was caused due to driver delinquency. These results will then be compared to the view of Twitter tweets, indicating that the skepticism users feel of Tesla’s autopilot are not supported by the data. RapidMiner, a science software platform, will be used to obtain tweets regarding Tesla’s autopilot and data analysis techniques will be used to identify the related variables in Tesla crashes.
