Not to mention cruise control has the same "vulnerability": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1q0FihkTfk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1q0FihkTfk
Is there any evidence that drivers are abusing Autopilot etc. any more than cruise control and causing a higher rate of accidents due to inattentiveness?
I was especially disappointed in Consumer Reports, which insinuated that these methods of "fooling" Autopilot were somehow connected to a fatal crash in Texas. https://www.consumerreports.org/autonomous-driving/cr-engineers-show-tesla-will-drive-with-no-one-in-drivers-seat/ https://www.consumerreports.org/autonomous-driving/cr-engine...
You have to get 11 paragraphs in before you get to this:
> Our evaluation does not provide specific insight into the Texas crash, but safety advocates and researchers at CR say that it does show that driver monitoring systems need to work harder to keep drivers from using the systems in foreseeably dangerous ways.
By this standard, cruise control should never have launched in any vehicle until technology was capable of verifying driver attentiveness with eye tracking.
