This. You have to keep at least one hand on the steering wheel and apply some pressure to it. Fairly significant pressure at that, given that a lot of people were complaining about keeping the hand on the wheel, and the system still yelling at them to put their hand on the wheel (their mistake was squeezing it tighter, instead of applying pressure counter to the rotation of the wheel; the tightness of the grip doesnt matter at all). If people intentionally do tricks to beat the pressure sensor (by using their knee or some wild contraption), that’s kind of on them. What do we propose, make Tesla record the interior of the car using a cam that prevents driving every time the camera cannot detect driver paying attention? No, thanks, I dont want to be surveilled on video in my own car. There is already a reasonable safety check with the steering wheel hand pressure, and if people intentionally trick it, that’s their fault and they should be charged for that with something like reckless driving. And no, i dont need to be “protected” from buying a Tesla. Even if it didnt have autopilot, i would still buy it again, because it is a really fun and speedy car to drive with minimum maintenance costs. Autopilot is a cherry on top, and if you try to circumvent present safety mechanisms, that’s on you. Especially when the alternative to the existing safety mechanism is video surveillance of the interior of your own vehicle.
