I get your point, and to a small degree agree with you. The Tesla owners I know understand the limits of the technology and drive reasonably. I'm considering buying a Tesla, knowing the limits of the technology myself. However there are two big ugly facts which bug the hell out of me...

It is clear that a subset of Tesla drivers puts too much faith in the effectiveness of Tesla's autopilot. Even though these drivers acknowledged and accepted the risks, it's clear they believe they can trust their Tesla to keep them safe even while they are not watching the road. Tesla's marketing clearly exacerbates this. The fact that Tesla's do the right thing 99% of the time reinforces that marketing message... up until that 0.01% situation occurs, then lots of harm done
