Tesla Auto Pilot Fiasco
Hands free and autonomous are unnecessary and dangerous.
Hopefully a stop will be put to all this techy-nonsense. https://slate.com/technology/2021/08...sa-clever.html |

The cost of insurance for liability should be astronomical. All the lazy-bones self-centered selfish "drivers" who crave this gimmick should pay through the nose for the privilege of putting everyone else's lives at risk.
Just because "everyone is doing it" makes the situation worse. The competition, cost cutting, etc. to create sales makes it all the more dangerous. |

Autonomous driving technology will just make people worse drivers as the years go on. Why even pay attention anymore if you have lane departure warnings, brake warnings, lane controls, etc? Driving is evolving into a lost art and skill, unfortunately.
People are always on their phones now when they drive. Honestly, I'd trust these technologies more than alot of the distracted idiots on the road today..

i passed a guy one morning this week who was slumped over on the drivers window, clearly sleeping, while his autopiloted tesla drove down the interstate @ 60 mph. it was ~4 am and still dark, the auto bright/dim lights were flashing as they kicked on and off in conjunction with oncoming interstate traffic.
dumb. i was in a 75,000 lb vehicle, i wasn't concerned for my safety.
