People just want to feel smug about a Tesla crashing due to all the misinformation they've been reading.

The driver of that vehicle surely suffered due consequences for how they discharged their responsibility. Tesla is not so far. The driver of that vehicle only posrssed the power to affect a very smmall number of people with their irresponsible act. The maker of that car isn't making claims that you can drive their cars drunk, and that car didn't have a "drunkpilot" button. Elon is voluntarily pushing something which is unwise, wich affects many many more people. The primary guilt is the marketing not the tech itself. There is no excuse for any of these accidents, because human behavior is very well studied. You don't get to create the option to let a car drive itself, and name it autopilot, and then claim ignorance and innocense when people get in the back seat and go to sleep and every other crazy thing, no matter what you write in a manual somewhere. When, Toyota has even a mere gas pedal glitch, it's a huge deal and all the cars get recalled and fixed, and it was a legitomate honest error while trying to be responsible, not an error while trying to be irresponsible. Tesla deserves far more heat than they are getting.

  Tesla Autopilot has never claimed to drive itself. Its certainly safer than its aviation equivalent which doesnt disingage as easily. ie. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-17/autopilot-incompetence-may-have-played-role-in-cessna-crash-atsb/9667802 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-17/autopilot-incompetenc...
