I already think it should be used in zero places. They lie with statistics to make it seem much safer than it really is [0], and Autopilot has a habit of disengaging 1-2 seconds before a crash, which lets it escape blame [1]. Frankly it's a regulatory failure that let Musk sell vaporware for years.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradtempleton/2023/04/26/tesla-again-paints-a-very-misleading-story-with-their-crash-data/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradtempleton/2023/04/26/tesla-...</a><p>[1]

I miss when new tech was tested on military grunts and scientific r&d departments.<p>Leave the test pilot work, to test pilots.<p>Don't misrepresent the product to my family members so they can be your beta testers, at the cost of their lives when it goes wrong.
> More than 800,000 vehicles have Autopilot<p>While this is technically true, since Autopilot is a standard feature isn’t it more accurate to say that every Tesla ( almost 5,000,000 vehicles) has Autopilot?
I'm not sure why Tesla's adaptive cruise control with lane assist is under more scrutiny than any other manufacturer. Every car has it at this point.
Folks can keep going after Tesla (whatever you say, we know it’s just because of Musks politics) all they want, they’ll still sell like hotcakes because they’re vastly superior to the other EVs out there at the same price point.
