"Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled-access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere, alongside Elon Musk telling the world Autopilot drove better than humans" https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93dqpkwx4xo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93dqpkwx4xo
