IMO it’s the fault of the engineers who did not take human factors into account. We all know that humans are terrible at following instructions or even using common sense — hence warnings about not using your toaster in the bathtub — so when engineers pretend that users will do the right thing, the engineers are at fault for not addressing the behaviours of the multitudes who will not do the right thing.
TLDR: the driver is at fault for being a dumbass using autopilot at night, and Tesla is at fault for not considering how real humans will use the product.
- vanusa 5y agoTesla is at fault for not considering how real humans will use the product. I think they know perfectly well, on some level. As they are of the fact that large portion of their drivers will be perfect dumbasses. But they're invested too deeply in the promise of an "Autopilot" product (which of course consumers will take to mean exactly what it says) by this point that they're not going to backpedal or change course -- unless forced to do so.
