It's OK but they have to tell you not to.

  It’s “Ok” until you’re involved in a fatal accident and Tesla blames you for not having your hands on the wheel. Doesn’t matter that Elon himself has demoed it hands off, each of the autopilot fatalities was the fault of the driver.

    Did you know there are 1.5 million auto-related deaths per year around the world. And in 7 years around 23 associated with Teslas? And none of the autopilot accidents affecting other people?

      How many times does it have to be repeated, those stats compare apples and oranges. Luxury, modern, new vehicles driven by statistically more wealthy drivers have a much lower accident rate than most cars. When corrected for these factors Tesla’s safety rating is abysmal. None of the autopilot accidents affected other people? I guess if by affected you mean fatalities, but 2 of them smashed into tractor trailers, so that definitely affected others. There are multiple reports of Teslas on autopilot running into stationary rescue vehicles as well, thank goodness they haven’t been fatal.

        "Luxury, modern, new vehicles driven by statistically more wealthy drivers". As far as risk aversion, I would say this group and Tesla owners are near opposites. Add in the completely different torque and breaking behavior. A completely different cockpit experience.
