I was tempted to not reply, as some of what you wrote feels like it's verging into axe-to-grind / genuinely crazy / TSLAQ territory, but here goes... > Autopilot creates a false sense of safety, as long as the people that payed for it and are eventually using it, are (by their own standards that made them buy it) not good at driving and not interested to get better at it. Or... there are people that are good attentive drivers who buy it as a driver aid - to minimise tiredness on long journeys? > But the fallacy stands in the numbers where Autopilot “safety report” is presented by Tesla and compared to average drivers performances. Yes, the methodology of the safety report is probably flawed, but that's a totally different subject. > Also, once disconnected from the driving system (feet off the pedals and hands off the steering wheel) ...which isn't how Autopilot currently works - you are asked to maintain contact with the steering wheel and have to prove it by providing torque on the wheel every few seconds. (Yes, > the driver would need up to 20 seconds (or even more) to reconnect and fully understand what the car does and what the traffic around is like. That is a recipe for disaster while every second the situation changes inside and outside the car. ...really, just... what? a) where does this (frankly ludicrous) 20 seconds statistic come from? b) you're not accounting for (the many?) people who might not be actively driving when Autopilot is functioning (that's the point, of course) but are still watching the road, mirrors, maintaining situational awareness, etc.
