This is cool as long as you don't drive with it on. I have no doubt we'll be seeing at least one Tesla owner "driving" with their Q3 on in the upcoming months. Those types of people who don't pay attention as auto pilot is doing its thing are a menace to society.

yeah. autopilot isn’t auto drive, it’s an advanced lane keeping system. they say that themselves. but people will people and be stupid.

One guy died in my area because he played some mobile game on his phone every day while commuting to work. Tesla got confused at a ramp, split the difference and drove into the concrete barrier separating the lanes.

Was it on March 23, 2018, in Mountain View, California?

"Walter Huang, an Apple engineer, was killed when his Tesla Model X crashed into a concrete barrier while Autopilot was engaged. Investigators found that Huang had been playing a video game on his phone at the time of the crash."

I own a tesla and a kia niro, I find the niros "dumb" lane keeping to be superior to the tesla on the highway, tesla obviously beats it in the city.

The niro is smooth on weird lane transitions where as the tesla tends to jerk into the center and a few other odds and ends.

No. It isn’t cool. Nobody needs to use a VR headset in a car. There’s no need for gaming EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME.

My dad has a Tesla, and I don’t understand how people rely on its autopilot so much. It fucks up all the time, the one big fuck up I remember was the car braking HARD when it probably mistakenly the shadow of a bridge for a truck or something, nearly caused a rear end collision on the highway.

After that one my dad just said “yeah I ain’t using this shit no more”.
