> You're always in charge of driving the car appropriately, the "AP" can only provide tentative assistance of a very rough sort. It can "tentatively assist" you in killing yourself and potentially others, but we already know that from the disaster in Mountain View, where this exact same thing happened. The problem with behavior changes in autopilot is that the car needs to react the same way every time. If you're going around a corner on a road which you've driven on for years without issue, and the car all of a sudden does something unexpected, the panic and over-correction reaction that everyone instinctively has tends to cause more accidents than just holding your desired course does. It doesn't matter if it's a skid, or your Tesla trying to accelerate you into a wall at 70 miles an hour. If the car does something the driver is not expecting it to do for any reason (from fatally defective software to ice on the ground) the driver performs sub-optimally as a result. And since this is Tesla we're talking about (who bakes in features like your car not starting before you upgrade its software, which is another "feature" about these cars that's going to get someone killed sooner or later), I'm willing to bet that the car doesn't warn you that this might occur. It just works fine for 6 months, then an update gets pushed, the car tries to put you into a wall, and you cause an accident because you're trying to stop the car from killing you and didn't check your blind spot before that. That is a UI and UX failure of the highest magnitude, and it is completely unacceptable, no matter how well it otherwise tends to work.
