You're supposed to have your hand on the wheel even with Tesla's autopilot. But you're right; the correct way of enforcing this behavior is that if you disregard it for too long, it parks you safely on the shoulder.
- ebbv 9y agoI don't want to nitpick but; parking on the shoulder is not safe. Don't do it unless it's a real emergency.
- nkrisc 9y agoIt appears that not having your hands on the wheel while autopilot is engaged could perhaps qualify as some kind of emergency, or at the very least, a risky enough situation to justify pulling over.
- koenigdavidmj 9y agoAgreed. "Safe" is not accurate; this is just the best of many bad options, and is what should happen if the car decides for any other reason that it is not auto-drivable.
- striking 9y agoThere's really never a good place for a car to stop. The car is dependent on a human to choose that place. So there's really no way to present the user with an ultimatum besides disabling autopilot on their next drive. edit: I hear the cars engage hazard lights and slow down and stop if one's hands are not on the wheel. I guess that's fine.
