But Autopilot isn't an all or nothing thing. If Tesla could save lives by changing the name, requiring constant hands on the wheel, doing a better job monitoring the person is actually in control, then they are being negligent by failing to do so.
If you invent a cure for cancer, but 1/10th of your pills have rat poison that could easily have filtered out, it doesn't matter that you overall saved lives. You still killed people through negligence.

- dkonofalski 9y agoIn this situation, though, the parallel would be more closely stated as "If you invent a cure for cancer, but 1/10000000th of your pills have rat poison, did you kill people through negligence if you acknowledged that you're in a trial period and that there's a small chance they may have a reaction and die and made them sign a waiver accepting that risk?" Every single person that uses Autopilot acknowledges the risk multiple times before they can use the system.
