Comment on Tesla driver killed after plowing into firetruck on freewayparent

The driver has to be paying attention to everything regardless, and if they don’t then get mad at them, not the car maker.

So we're just gonna ignore that Tesla literally calls the feature "Full Self Driving"?

I can't imagine how people are getting the impression they can let their attention waver...

I don’t know if I agree people get that impression? If they do, as someone said above, they are willfully ignoring the truth. If someone does have that impression, I have a hard time imagining how that would continue past the first use of the tech. If you take your hands of the wheel, or the system senses you aren’t watching the road, it visually and audibly warns you to put your hands back on the wheel. If you continue to disobey, Autopilot will disengage itself. So, yeah, I can’t abdicate any Tesla driver from responsibility in an accident.
