It depends on exactly what iteration of Autopilot he was using. I'm not sure how old this case is. Early on it was little more than traffic-aware cruise control with lane holding. If that's what he was using then it has no knowledge of traffic lights or anything else and it was a 50/50 chance when you hit an exit if it would take the exit or stay in lane once it lost lane lines.
There's lots of things the media has called Autopilot.
- kadoban 4y ago> There's lots of things the media has called Autopilot. The media, or Tesla? It's not the media's fault if there's confusion on the several marketing terms Tesla has come up with to imply it will drive for you.
- adambatkin 4y agoI'm not sure how this is relevant. Either the autopilot is safe to use (regardless of "iteration") or the feature shouldn't exist and should be illegal to use. If some "iteration" of autopilot is incapable of _X_ where _X_ is some safety-critical thing, then you shouldn't be allowed to use autopilot.
- brandonagr2 4y agoIt is safe to use, when used as _intended_ (ie how the car tells you every single time you turn autopilot on). Cars are inherently unsafe when the driver is drunk, would you say cars are either safe or shouldn't exist and be illegal?
