>What if Tesla are safer than a regular driver?

And what if they are not?

Furthermore to me the issue is not safety vs not-safety, but the advertisement is clearly misleading at least

>For the moment, every drive has to acknowledge that they are responsible, need to keep the control and have to stay vigilant every time they use self-driving. It seems to me that take precedence to the product brochure...

Maybe we should hold the company to make sure the product brochure is truthful. Because if people trust the brochure they might die over it.




Maybe.

On their site: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/autopilot

"Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."

It’s clear they are working toward full self driving but it’s not there yet.

"The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."
