"Elon Musk's Nightmare: Robotics Expert Missy Cummings"

Missy Cummings, a robotics expert and former Navy fighter pilot, has become a vocal critic of Tesla's driver-assistance technology and the broader self-driving car industry. Cummings has faced backlash and harassment from Tesla fans and Elon Musk himself, but she remains undeterred. Her research has shown that self-driving taxis are four to eight times more likely to get into a crash compared to human-driven cars. Cummings argues that the hypermasculine culture in Silicon Valley and the rush to deploy autonomous vehicles without adequate testing contribute to safety risks. She calls for stricter regulation and a chief AI pilot to ensure the safety of self-driving technology.
