There's two levels of risk, Tesla owners taking themselves out, and then there is innocent bystanders being taken out. It's pretty infuriating if you consider that we're all put at risk.


You are at a much higher risk from all kinds of humans, with varying levels of skill, in different states of mind manually driving these vehicles.


You've always been at risk of other road users, but that is well understood when you get in a car and drive somewhere.

What's new, and on top of that risk, and not well understood is the risk due to drivers mis-using a half-baked feature named "autopilot" as if it's actually an autopilot, because Musk insists that it works when it clearly does not always work.


Humans are much, much better drivers than autopilot.


For now, that’s kind of the goal here...


Road users aren't beta-testers. Especially the ones who didn't sign up for it and buy a Tesla.
