Because the user is an integral part of Tesla's "Autopilot" system. The product name implies autonomy, but in fact, the vehicle requires a human in the loop for safe operation.
Unfortunately, a poorly designed user experience lulled the driver into behaving foolishly. That's why the headline mentions UX.
- josefresco 9y ago"lulled the driver" Did it? Or did the driver know what they were doing and not care? I don't think it's responsible to make such assumptions about the driver's reasoning.
- lagadu 9y agoWhat's relevant is that this wouldn't have happened with any of the other semi-autonomous systems from other brands because they force the user to be keenly aware. Had it been the same for all systems then the argument could be made that the current concept in general is flawed in this iteration but because the others demand a lot more driver involvement the problem pivots to being a Tesla problem, not an semi-autonomous driving problem.
