This is a critique of the messaging in the language, not the product.

Tricky in 140 chars, but: 1B needed for min statistical sample size. More software mods and data may be needed beyond that.

~1B miles are driven DAILY by cali drivers alone. Stats show ~9 deaths per day on those same Cali roads.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
US is ~11 deaths per billion miles. WW is 17 deaths per billion. Autopilot already much better than either so far.

@c4757p @SwiftOnSecurity Unless we get there and find it isn't enough. Just won't be before 1B.

What an astounding, monstrous stupidity. Untested components are meant for the lab, not the street.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
It is extensively tested in the lab and in the Tesla test fleet. However, there is no substitute for real world experience.

Humans should be highlighted as judging fitness for safety-critical designs, not an odometer reading. It looks bad to public.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
With less than 1B miles, there simply isn't enough data. 1B is a necessary but not necessarily sufficient condition.

I don't think it's a bad tweet
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
Thanks. Point of calling it "beta" was to emphasize to those who chose to use it that it wasn't perfect.

when do you think u get to 1B ? Any major SW release besides mileage to go out of beta ?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
Probably six months. Will include hundreds of refinements to handle rare corner cases in Autopilot.

big believer in driverless cars. But, one person died. Not sure Beta is the word I'd like to use to describe it.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Jul 10, 2016
Use of word "beta" is explicitly so that drivers don't get comfortable. It is not beta software in the standard sense.

Misunderstanding of what "beta" means to Tesla for Autopilot: any system w less than 1B miles of real world driving
