Re:Tesla's Fault (Score 1)

Excellent point, Dan. Mr Simpleton, ah sorry, Mr Simpson, is grinding his dogmatic axe here despite the facts, and has totally lost perspective of this incident. Tesla is NOT trying to convince anyone that the car is capable of more self-driving than is the case. Fact: Tesla has stressed in the Owner's Manual and elsewhere, that all so-called autopilot features REQUIRE the driver to maintain supervision at all times. If a drunk and sleeping driver doesn't, how is that Telsla's fault? In addition, the autopilot features brought the car to a safe standstill with the smart prompting of the police (and likely would have even without police intervention, once the driver's hand slipped off the wheel), which is a far better outcome than normal with a sleeping drunk driver. Tesla should be praised, rather that excoriated. The bigger problem here is that a mouthpiece is transmitting while his brain is asleep. Unfortunately, no technology assist exists to solve that.
