Note that the "looking into 16 crashes" part of this article pertains to: > PE21-020 is upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA) to extend the existing crash analysis, evaluate additional data sets, perform vehicle evaluations, and to explore the degree to which Autopilot and associated Tesla systems may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks by undermining the effectiveness of the driver’s supervision. In doing so, NHTSA plans to continue its assessment of vehicle control authority, driver engagement technologies, and related human factors considerations. NHTSA is evaluating whether or not the fact that Autopilot allows you to 'lock it in' makes you less attentive when driving. Compared to Ford's Blue Cruise[0], it seems like it's better for regulatory safety to make a system that can turn off at any time and doesn't make loud noises to alert the driver when it turns off, so that the driver won't expect the system to work without them looking at the road. 0: https://youtu.be/GCRNYP5Qg34?t=325 https://youtu.be/GCRNYP5Qg34?t=325
