From TFA:
> "Tesla has always been clear that Autopilot doesn't make the car impervious to all accidents, and before a driver can use Autopilot, they must accept a dialogue box which states that 'Autopilot is designed for use on highways that have a center divider and clear lane markings,'" a Tesla spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
Does this dialog box appear every time the car is started or is it a one time thing, just like terms of services?

- zwily 8y agoOne time thing. The display does tell you to pay attention and keep your hands on the wheel on every activation though.
- xvf22 8y agoLovely... But if it works great 99.9% of the time it may just lull you into a false sense of security. Not saying the driver isn't at fault but this is especially true for Tesla where a firmware update may change autopilot behaviour in ways the driver doesn't expect.
- ThatPlayer 8y agoThe car should be able to detect if those 'center dividers and clear lane markings' are visible warn the user, or shutdown.
- mentat 8y agoThe information should already be in their mapping systems. It should not offer to activate on unsupported roads. It will offer to activate in downtown with stop signs even couple hundred feet in the small city I live in. It will offer to activate driving through a residential neighborhood...
