Autopilot is generally pretty smooth - what you describe is more characteristic of texting while driving, which idiots can achieve in any car.

- sschueller 8y agoYes, but Tesla is giving its owners the false confidence that it is ok to text while driving because the autopilot will drive the car.
- rightnow 8y agoYoure missing the point. If autopilot was on, it would have been smooth.
- carlmr 8y agoWhat above comment is saying is that the guy was probably not on autopilot and steering erratically himself.
- saiya-jin 8y agoExactly, drivers that call/text tend to swing randomly outside their lanes, speed up/slow down (if they have some crappy non-cruise control car) etc. Whenever I see this, this is what I expect but check when overtaking whether driver doesn't have any issues (heart attack, epilepsy etc)
- burger_moon 8y agoMost states have a no texting and driving law, or even that you can't be holding your phone while driving laws in place. Would that still be valid if the car is driving itself? I'm guessing at least right now it would still be illegal. Does anyone here know?
