Bottom line, hordes of people are not going to use the Tesla "autopilot" in the proper way. The very term is misleading in the extreme.

Why, salesmen told prospective buyers that the car could almost drive itself.

Why did you think recently the two men slammed into a tree and died? Both I believe were professionals, and one was demonstrating the feature to the other. Did they remember to use it like you say it should be used? Even those two professionals have no appreciation of the limitations of the technology. So they died.

If Tesla car drivers are trained and disciplined like pilots, then sure, by all means let them try out the beta feature.

But they are not. And that means it's manslaughter.
