Nowadays we see many accidents in UK but also and in Greece (1 accident).What happens with the autopilot of TESLA?TESLA says: The "autopilot" assumes that the driver is constantly alert. Autopilot is marketed as a driver assistance feature that reduces stress and improves safety. However, the vigilance required to use the software, such as keeping both hands on the wheel and constantly monitoring the system for malfunctions or abnormal behaviour, arguably requires significantly more attention than just driving the vehicle normally without use of Autopilot. Furthermore, I believe that if Autopilot even has the small potential of misreading a clearly marked gore point, and has the potential to drive into a gore point and crash into a barrier, it should not be tested in beta, on the open road, and by normal consumers. My experience is not unique as many drivers have reported similar behaviour from Autopilot, and a fatal crash involving Autopilot on a Model X may have been caused by a disturbingly similar malfunction. Tesla are very special cars and there are no serious comparisons in my opinion. Think of a single factor, their purchasing audience to date is made up of the vast majority of ecologically sensitive people who suddenly switched from prius to supercar family cars. If you get 100 random drivers eg. and put them in a heavy car with 0-100 in 3-4 "how many do you think will not crack?
