It avoided a bad driver. But let's not forget that that the driver who turned without a glance is a real piece of garbage. It's unfortunate that they get the benefit of Tesla's autopilot, no consequences for them. Even when their selfish dissonance could have killed or maimed fellow citizens.
Sure. But unfortunately, here in the US, we have especially bad drivers. And even great drivers can make mistakes or get distracted. I have a virtually untarnished driving record, yet I'd still welcome such added protection. After all, pilots have enjoyed such systems for decades.
I would welcome the protection as well. I still feel that the other driver needs a good punishment though, without consequence, there is no behavioral therapy -- that idiot will continue to do their shenanigans and when the oncoming lane has a normal car instead of a Tesla, people will die. Bad driving is really an oversimplification of the fact that someone decided to take a 2 ton vehicle, and enter a lane of traffic without even looking. That's more akin to malice or shifting responsibility than ignorance. It is also very very dumb though, because the odds that there is a car in the other lane that even has enough time to stop is not a guarantee. So it's not only selfish but also dumb.
