A few years ago, I sat in an Italian airplane with the cockpit door open. The pilot and copilot spent most of the trip speaking to each other, using their hands to emphasize their words (if you've ever seen two Italians arguing passionately, you'll see what I mean).

As far as I could tell, they only had their hands on the instruments during take off and landing.

It was a bit weird :)

Commercial pilots have approximately 100x as much training as your typical driver.

Yes, there's some caveats to that but the simple answer is yes.

Commercial pilots have that point hammered into their heads. Tesla did everything in their power to convince buyers that "driver is there only for legal purposes" and they can chill instead of driving.

No but they have years of training.

Teslas monitor drivers’ attention via the in-cabin camera.

ffs this is such a silly argument
