Autopilot seems to have some issues if there are vehicles parked in the shoulder. I feel like any human driver would give a wide berth to parked vehicles.

It's not difficult to find news items about such accidents.

    For sure, and I wouldn't be surprised if Teslas are less likely to hit parked cars than human drivers. But you see the problem -- for the outrage journalism to stop, it has to be a lot better (~10X) than humans.
