The simple fix here is to revoke that human’s license. TSLA should consider assessing driver engagement the way Supercruise does in the CT6.

If you don’t keep your hand on the wheel it will stop driving itself in about 10 seconds. No kidding. The people sleeping either have their hand on the wheel or they rigged something.   Or it may be fake news. If you ignore the command to put your hand on the wheel the car will make a very very loud beeping noise - enough to wake you from the dead - and if you still don’t take over it will assume you are dead and it will pull over and come to a complete stop.  Some of the stories clearly have more to them in terms of what the idiots are doing to get around the 10 second rule. 

 

That's the problem bud. Tesla's system is easily defeated. It's too lenient. Install eye trackers, if the driver isn't looking ahead for more than 2 seconds, disconnect the cruise control system. If they driver isn't making constant, CONSTANT contact with the steering wheel with tier hands, disconnect the system. Simple fix. 

 

 

Exactly my (unstated) point. YouTube has plenty of info about how to spoof the Autopilot system. Supercruise’s eye tracking is more difficult to spoof.

We have seen and posted here example upon example of abuses users have made using Tesla's Autopilot.  A few days ago I even posted an extensive study indicating that drivers are influenced by the name of the advanced driver's aids and the connotations attached to more autonomous-sounding names.  Yet, there is a poster or two here that refuses to acknowledge these issues based on his or her driving habits regardless of the behavior of thousands of other drivers.  

The more established automakers have faced decades of costly product liability litigation in the States and have developed systems that still requires significant input from drivers.  This is by design, not inability to compete in the autonomous vehicle space.  Until autonomous systems have much greater than 99.999% reliability, you will not see these systems marketed by the other automakers.  Of course, we also know that Tesla has used the Full Driving System option as a means of financing its operations over the years.
