I prefer my own driving skills to Tesla's... but I would prefer Tesla's driving skills over 95% of the driving public's skills

I'm fairly sure that if our roads were 50% self driving cars and 50% human driven - human drivers would kill the lion's share of people

This is a fact ^ lost on most people...
The other fact is that you can make over-ride changes to the Autopilot basic parameters
and force the car to behave more dangerously

in almost every case the Tesla standard safe parameters were over-ridden by the jack-ass

:nod:

If you set every tolerance to "minimum safe"
you get what you deserve

Well then Tesla was dumb for installing a jackass override of the standard safe parameters.

I know this is complicated, so I'll say this really slowly
Firstly, Since this is a free country - you can put the car in the "Ultimate Danger" Setting
which is doing nothing and just driving it while texting

As an expression of our American freedom..!!!!

Secondly, since you can remove the autopilot entirely
There are also about 8 parameter settings
Tesla encourages you to leave the FUCKING autopilot alone as it is set to "best practices"

Every time you lower a tolerance it warns you
Just like removing the safety on a gun
or a bottle of pills that has a warning

"we're all free men" free to do as we wish... including texting while driving
or lowering the safety parameters on an autopilot system

:nod:

Bleach - don't drink it while texting... but really it's up to you

And if TESLA gave only 1 option, 'best practices' then not nearly as many TESLA wrecks and TESLA doesn't have to deal with the avalanche of bad press, which is certainly isn't helping them..

Only an idiot would NOT monitor the vehicle. You still have to be alert. You can't set the car to auto pilot then take a nap.
