Thanks for your insight. I haven't used AP but the general consensus seems to be that it performs better than its peers, so my complaints aren't regarding the quality of the system, just about the claims made versus the lack of rigorous study so far. Though I'm not a huge fan of how the tesla.com/autopilot page is primarily focused on full-self driving (including having the only video be of the 2016 FSD demo, as opposed to AP functions). I read r/teslamotors pretty frequently. It seems a common theme in the threads about AP-related crashes for users to argue whether the road conditions were right for AP. Seems like there's a lot of assumptions and confusion about what AP can actually do, and ambiguity about computational features can lead to problems of its own. Hopefully the safety stats that Musk said they would start publishing will give us a better place to evaluate things.
