  > Similar to how that Tesla car decapitated it's driver a few years ago because it decided a truck trailer was empty sky. This isn't that different from bad biological sensory input that causes a person to think they are stepping on the brake when they're actually stepping on the acceleration pedal. The main differences being that 1) human beings tend to be able to respond to a wider range of scenarios than software and attempt creative problem solving and 2) we have significantly more sensory inputs and they tend to be quite reliable.

      True, but in VFR conditions it works quite well. There's no such thing as IFR for cars (yet).
