But you will ride with an impaired driver or maybe you drive impaired yourself.

The figures could've changed since then (better or worse) but approximately 4 years ago, the DOT in my state released data pertaining to accidents with injuries.

Distracted drivers caused 4 times (400%) more accidents with injuries than drunk/impaired drivers.

The thing is if you are using autopilot you’re in control. It’s the idiots Fn around and not paying attention. I’m more afraid of someone dicking. around with their phones while driving than autopilot 

Fair point about distracted drivers, but personally, I don't even use cruise control. If I'm in the driver's seat, my hands are on the focking wheel, and my feet are at the pedals. That's never gonna change for me

I don’t get this line of thinking.  What if cars driven by humans are 85% safe?  Why wouldn’t the driverless car threshold be 86% instead of 99%?  Are you an AI bigot?

Pretty simple really.  If the cars driven by humans are 85% safe, then 15% of the time, the problem is the human... yes?  If driverless cars are 86% safe, then 14% of the time... who's the problem?  If the problem is the AI, why should the human be held accountable?  If the human isn't, then who is?  The car manufacturer?  If not, who?  Anyone?

This is why they are doing these updates. To make people have to be more alert and less reliant on the self drive through various alerts and stuff the driver is forced to do every so often. 

This is much ado about nothing IMO.

Never said it was anything, just giving my opinion.

Elon took their control away. But I still don’t understand why a bunch of worker bee’s care so much. Don’t use it. Simple.

Would seem to be the manufacturer but that is endless liability. I suppose it wouldn’t be hard to tweak the insurance system though where maybe you have to have insurance but name the manufacturer as an additional insured? Or something along those lines

Driving today I have seen a bunch of Teslas on the road.

Right, it would point to the manufacturer as the guilty party.  What are the odds that the government will force the manufacturer be the party at fault?  I'm going with 1 in a billion chance... you?  So, if the consumer is the one that's responsible, then the manufacturer shouldn't be allowed to put it on the market without almost a 100% reliability factor.
