Wouldn't it be hilarious if they were being really tacit about something like this? In an exceptional scenario, the autopilot disengages and tells the human user to take over. So maybe the autopilot drives into an untenable situation, disengages, the car crashes and kills the "driver", and then the statistics say "Well, Autopilot drove X miles and it was fine. The crash occurred while under human control..."
As they say, it's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.
- chillacy 10y agoA few weeks ago there was a case where a model S crashed because the human driver tapped the brakes, disengaging autopilot, but the driver did not know, and his car hit another car.
