People crash all the time texting and driving. I see people looking into their phones while the car is coasting all the time. Autopilot is at the very least a much much safer coasting mode. To say Tesla Autopilot, at least the current version of it, net-net increases the chance of crashes is pure speculation, requiring a very hard to measure second-order effect argument of it being significant a cause for distraction and intuitively untrue for anyone who actually uses it day to day.

Also, in traffic, I’ve been finding Autopilot/adaptive cruise control to be really great for enabling me to pay more attention to the cars around me, because I spend a lot less energy worrying about the speed of the car in front of me and following the curves of the road.
