    150 more warnings than a regular car would give, ultimately it’s the driver’s fault.

        Do we have any evidence from the driver stating that he didn’t realize he was using a glorified cruise control similar to autopilot on an airplane?

          Where I live you can right now go to Tesla’s website and buy a car with “Full Self-Driving Capability” with a small print that includes the disclaimer that it doesn’t make the vehicle autonomous, for whatever that’s worth…

            FSD is a paid feature that i assume was not being used during the accident, autopilot was being used

              Ah I see, now that you’ve been proven wrong you’re pretending you asked a different question.

              You admit that Tesla advertises a “Full Self-Driving Capability” feature, which is basically what the person you said “source or stfu” to.

              Whether or not the feature was used in this instance is not what we’re discussing here.

              We can have this discussion if you’re feeling like you’re up for it in good-faith, I think both are true that people are overall terrible at the activity of driving so more driver aids are overall better, but also current driver aids are very limited and drivers are not necessarily great at understanding and working within those limits.

              They’re not the only ones, but Tesla is really the worst offender at overstating their cars’ capabilities and setting people up for failure - like in this case.

                Yes you’re right

                What was used in this accident had nothing to do with my question and yes it looks like tesla advertisement is misleading

          It’s literally called autopilot

          There’s this sweet new website called Google. Try using that before you throat Musk.

      Yes, even in self driving cars the driving is expected to pay attention in case they need to take control in unexpected events

      If the driver was unresponsive in a normal car, it would stop.

        The driver was responding. If he didn’t respond the car would have stopped.

        If this was a normal car he probably would have just crashed earlier.
