I think the problem is that Tesla is treating an automobile as a software product, and letting the public beta test it. They have been proclaiming how their cars have been updated with autopilot, while in fine print saying don't trust it and pay attention while the car is driving.

The auto industry doesn't work like that, at least in America, for what I would think are obvious reasons. No longer is beta software something mostly innocuous, where if it goes wrong it is annoying, but rarely more. Now the safety of not only the driver, but others on the roads are affected.

Putting a feature like autopilot into a car and not expecting it to be abused is naive. It needs to be bulletproof if they are making the claim the car drives itself.
