I wish all those advanced assist functions in today's upper middle-class cars would trickle down to cheaper cars faster. That would give us much more safety now.
It seems Teslas autopilot cannot reliably do much more than conventional lane assist etc.
Tesla could disable autonomous lane changing and autonomous changing of streets, requiring driver's input for all changes of direction (that are not smoothing out, but staying in lane), and it would be really good.
But Tesla needs the impression of game-changing, not just best-in-class for financial markets reasons.
I believe authorities should order call-backs and force Tesla to disable all traces of autonomy.
The thing is, a tesla crashing while running on autopilot is more newsworthy than a tesla crashing while being driven. We should not let anecdotal evidence drive our fears.
