I’d recommend reading some actual reviews of AutoPilot by the hundreds of thousands of people that use it every day, watch some YouTube videos or read some auto review sites explaining it.
You keep your attention on the road. AutoPilot “takes the strain” off micromanaging the vehicle in the lane while you do the executive planning.
It’s a supremely comfortable way to drive. But you are still responsible for driving the damn car.
- SigmundA 7y agoIMO quick emergency stopping for surprise obstacles falls under "micromanagement" not "executive planning".
- DSingularity 7y agoOkay, but with this autopilot you can be dead if your attention slips for 8 seconds and when nobody else does anything wrong. Are we really convinced that the Teslas are safer than humans when it fails in such fashion?
- zaroth 7y agoThis is true of driving in any case. 8 seconds is an eternity at 70mph on the highway. You have to look out the window. You can not watch a movie, or check your phone, or fall asleep. You can, for example, adjust the radio, or take a sip of coffee.
