I don’t think regulators are actually doing their jobs here. If Teslas actually a successful dead man switch, we wouldn’t see story after story like this - https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/17/canada-tesla-driver-alberta-highway-speeding https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/17/canada-tesla-d... I don’t need to put forth a solution to point out that Tesla is trying to have its cake and eat it too. They say one thing to regulators and another to consumers and they are being allowed to do it. I don’t disagree with you about personal responsibility, but Tesla also has responsibility for what they market and the downstream effects.

We will agree to disagree, but I still appreciate the conversation. I encourage you to write a letter to the regulator of your jurisdiction if you feel your concerns aren't being addressed. I have done the same with US regulators (NHTSA) in support of Tesla's driver assist systems.

I've driven a car with lane keep that worked like this: 1. If the lane keep is on and there is no torque warn the driver. If the driver doesn't respond, get really aggressive, pulse the brakes and eventually stop in the middle of the road. 2. If lane keep turns off for any reason (for example, momentarily too light lines) all driver monitoring immediately ceases. Noone writes articles about this system that is not Tesla, but I find it impossible to believe that it is a safer system than Tesla's.
