Tesla drivers run Autopilot where it’s not intended — with deadly consequences::undefined

    IMHO this comes down to how those features are sold and explained to drivers:

    • if Tesla expects drivers to read through the manual and understand how FSD and autopilot work in order to use them safely it’s on Tesla. People simply don’t do it (not for Tesla or any other cars) and you have to make sure your features are intuitive and easy to understand. If they are not you’re doing it wrong

    • if this is explained clearly to people when they buy the car, there are warning messages and clear instructions and people still use them wrong it’s on the drivers. There will always be stupid drivers, you should not disable new features just because 1% of drivers are too stupid to use them.
