Tesla driver killed while using autopilot was watching Harry Potter

The Tesla confused a white trailer with the sky, accident very likely wouldn't have happened if the driver was paying attention.

I did think calling the system 'autopilot' was a mistake, I could see it creating a false sense of the expected capabilities of the system which most of us would know but I'm not sure the average member of the public would.

I like Tesla's goals but they could do with dialing back the hyperbole sometimes (autopilot, bioweapon defense mode etc).

Says the guy whose trailer killed the Tesla driver. Also, he did not see Harry Potter playing, he just heard it. How does he know HP was not playing from, say, audiobook? Also, how many 62-year olds can recognize HP on the spot?

Yeah, I would wait for some other proof.

“Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles”

Does anyone know if most of these fatalities are on highways (in similar circumstances to where the auto pilot gets used)?

Deaths per mile are probably also higher in the city.

Vintage tech like a portable DVD player in a Tesla? Something seems fishy.
