The same reason cruise control is allowed.

  Exactly. I used Cruise control for the longest time. However having used Autonomous features on Tesla and Mercedes, I can't use Cruise Control anymore. It's just too risky. Tesla Autonomous features have the brains of a 2 year old and consistency of a machine. Which is why there is some value to it.

  I think the solution is to hold Elon Musk/Tesla liable for their misleading statements on FSD, Tesla Network, AP2 and their timelines about future capability. Future promises if made should come with renaming the product to highlight its capabilities.

    That's potentially very complicated. As long as drivers are required to purchase insurance and insurance is required to pay out fair sums for accidental death, the accountability should come automatically in the form of higher rates.

      Do you also hold the same view regarding medicines? That the FDA shouldn't regulate medicines, and manufacturers can make insane promises? After all, we love free market over human lives.

  With cruise control all it does is maintain your speed and with the more advanced cameras your distance from the vehicle ahead of you. There is absolutely no instance where you would ever take your hands off the steering wheel with cruise control. Only your feet off the pedals.
