I agreed that there needs to be a system of accountability for both the driver and manufacturer as well as proper marketing of said features. This article and the misleading title could very well cause the same damage as directly marketing the technology as a "magic all-in-one solution."

Yes. Here's a really bad example of feature misunderstanding, a Volvo owner demoing the self-braking, where it plows into some pedestrians.[1] "Volvo spokesman Johan Larsson told Fusion the people in the video did not pay for the car’s “pedestrian detection functionality." The levels of self-driving may need to be standardized, so that when a driver gets into a strange car, such as a rental, they know what to expect.
