It's a just red herring, because in this case in particular we have a driver who was experienced in using AutoPilot, and in particular with how it operated in that specific scenario, was warned repeatedly by the car to pay attention, but was still choosing the play a game on their phone rather than drive their car.
People make the same decision as this driver does every day, and over 1,000 accidents a day result. AutoPilot unfortunately did not save this driver from their mistake in this case. But it wasn't a marketing problem or operator error.
- falcolas 7y ago> was warned repeatedly by the car to pay attention This is incorrect (specifically, it's Tesla's mis-characterization of the situation). The last attention notification was over 15 minute prior to the crash. https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/nr20180607.aspx https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/nr20180607.as...
- SAI_Peregrinus 7y ago> was warned repeatedly by the car to pay attention That's really the issue. You have to pay attention to use Autopilot safely. If you're using it as a way to reduce cognitive load about speed/lane control so you can pay better attention to drivers around you it can improve safety. If you're using it as a way to avoid driving the car it decreases safety. The current design lets drivers get away with not driving far too much.
