That sentence doesn't make sense for me. He wasn't driving, so at what point did he lose control??
- bwanab 3y agoThe real answer to that is one should always take control when in any kind of tricky situation. I use autopilot all the time, but I don't trust it to do the right thing when the right thing isn't obvious.
- bilekas 3y agoI guess I was being facetious around the semantics of if it's autopilot or self driving. The owner wasn't in control of the vehicle anyway so his excuse was pretty poor.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThe problem is that autopilot can turn a not dangerous situation into a dangerous one, and leave you holding the bag when it disengages a second from the incident.
- mint2 3y agoThat is the crux of it. He was driving, the point is despite the name the car is not self driving nor an auto pilot as in automating the driver It’s actually a glorified cruise control. Would One say a driver isn’t driving because they had cruise control turned on?
