SpaceX Proves Full Self Driving Works
SpaceX just docked the Axiom-2 at the International Space Station (ISS). While there is the ability for crew on both the Freedom Capsule and the ISS to be involved manually with the docking, there was a reminder that it was, "crew hands off," and the entire 16 hour launch, flight, and docking was done by autopilot.
We can't have cars with full autopilot, not even Teslas, but SpaceX is capable of launching and docking Spaceships at the International Space Station using nothing but autopilot. Since Tesla and SpaceX are both Elon Musk companies, one could assume that the Full Auto technology would be shared between the companies.
The only reason Elon Musk started pushing Full Self Driving or self-driving vehicles at all is because someone killed a bicyclist while they were driving a Tesla. Elon Musk took that personally, and decided that he would try to prevent that from ever happening again. Thus we have Full Self Driving cars coming in the near future, apparently the only thing stopping it is individual states and countries have not approved it yet. But why? Full Self Driving (FSD) clearly works, at least the one by Tesla, because it launches Spaceships, controls their flight, and docks them at the ISS.
We own a new Kia, and as long as you put your hand on the wheel it will self-drive: it steers, it breaks, it accelerates. We've had cruise control for years but with the cameras all around the vehicle the car will now steer itself most of the time, which helps on long highway journeys. But no matter if you have a Kia or a Tesla, you still have to keep your hand on the wheel, which means we do not have Full Self Driving yet.
According to the National Highway & Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA, over 42,000 Americans die every year in traffic accidents. End opposition to Full Self Driving vehicles, today's docking at the ISS proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Full Self Driving works.
