Lets face it, 99% of the public have zero idea about cars - that's why we see so many SUVs and Thailand Specials so high up in the sales figures (lol).

If you see 'autopilot' advertised, and the car can stop/steer/accelerate and brake itself without you intervening, do you blame people with zero interest and understanding of cars for using these functions? They see 'autopilot' - oh it drives itself.



I do think Tesla needs to have some accountability over the functionality of their vehicles, its not 'cruise control', its 'autopilot'.
Ok so the next time your enjoying a flight somewhere, have a think if you would be happy if the pilots left the cockpit and went and had a nap for the 4 hour flight and let the plane do the flying?, and if the plane crashed who's fault would it be, Boeing for fitting it?

There needs to be that human element there just in case.
