Yes, see Tesla Autopilot...

• justapassenger 7y ago
  Autopilot works but only in a very clean cases highway environment. It cannot with a lot of unexpected situations, like lane closures, stopped cars, and many many others. It’s good assistant, as those situations happen rarely, but they do happen and autopilot will crash if human won’t supervise and takeover

  ... run right into the side of an 18 wheeler.

    once. they still crash less often than human drivers crash their cars on the highway. I don't want to say Autopilot is good, but everything else is also terrible.

      Since Tesla has never released the data for that claim, taking it at face value seems pretty iffy given other claims by the company.

      > once. At least twice.

      In conditions suitable for Autopilot in the first place. Autopilot is most often turned off when things get 'messy', a luxury humans don't have, and that Tesla often "neglects" to mention when they're preening over this sound bite.

      those are bullshit stats. They compare overall crashes in all kind of normal highway environment and all kind of drivers and vehicles with the very selective places where the Tesla users decided to enable autopilot. Tesla users are also more educated and have better vehicles which has been shown to reduce the comparative crash rate by a lot. We don't have data to compare but if I had to take a wild guess on crash rates I am pretty convinced that Tesla crashes more than the equivalent driver on the same stretch of highway as of today.

  I didn't ask about advanced cruise control. Autopilot still requires your attention and your hands on the wheel. "Self driving", to really add value, means I need to be able to do something else (read a book, watch a movie) safely.
