"Consumer Reports said in May that one of its engineers had been able to turn on Autopilot in a Tesla and slip into the back seat while the car kept going. The California Highway Patrol said in May that it had arrested a man who got out of the driver’s seat of his Model 3 while it was moving."
Isn't that generalized to all self-driving features? And won't that preclude self-driving taxis, if Highway Patrol wants to arrest passengers when they don't see a driver? The cop has no idea if something is Autopilot versus Full Self-Driving. I suspect the NYT has no idea, either.
