And Tesla is claiming otherwise. The driver in this thread likely has nothing to gain or lose by saying that, other than maybe the resale value of his car might be hurt. Tesla has a lot of reasons to be deceptive here.

Plus, it's a pretty common complaint in Tesla forums.

On the other hand, this is effectively an admission by Tesla that there are serious problems with the autopilot system. It should never guide the car into a barrier, no matter where the driver's hands are.

I believe it. Do you?
