Juicero Also never saved anyone by bringing a car to a gentle stop after the driver fell asleep.
> This caused people to die; similar stories don't seem to happen with other car brands with similar features (automatic braking, and automatic steering in traffic).
The people who have "died" using AP, have bought defeater devices on eBay and ignored the warnings. No different than putting a rock on your gas pedal and being sad if something bad happens.
Personal responsibility is a thing. You can't just read the name of something and decide how it works, without reading the manual or the warnings.
None of this is meant as an attack. If you really haven't read he Tesla manual, give it a read. AP starts on page 89: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/model_y_owners_man...
To me, it is clear on what it can and cannot do, and how to act.

Mortality rate is 20%-40%, climbing with delay in treatment. In my above comment, I note that Autopilot has been involved in six deaths total, which is extremely low compared to other causes of death over the same number of years it’s been available to drivers. Another example is E Coli from contaminated lettuce has killed the same number of people (and sickened thousands more) than Autopilot use over a similar amount of time. Sharks kill 50~ people per year.
