Tesla autopilot is just a very fancy form of cruise control. Without corrections by human drivers it will happily run into stationary obstacles.

Autopilot isn't used in the same conditions.

Yeah. Totally makes sense to compare a human driver driving an average 7 year old 30k$ car with not so good safety ratings driven by average person in snowy, rainy pothole ridden roads to a newish 70k$ luxury car with good airbags/crumple zones driven in mostly sunny California roads by mostly young drivers with a driver assistance system.

And then for you to argue that the driver assistance system is actually better than a human driver if given the car alone!

Wow
