    any problem autopilot ejects gracefully and hands it over to the driver.

    Gracefully? LMAO

    You can come back when it gives at least 3 minutes warning time in advance, so that I can wake up, get my hands out of the woman, climb into the driver seat, find my glasses somewhere, look around where we are, and then I tell that effing autopilot that it’s okay and it is allowed to disengage now!

      Yes, that’s exactly how autopilots in airplanes work too… 🙄

      I think camera FSD will get there, but I also think there are additional sensors needed (perhaps not lidar necessarily) to increase safety and like the point of the article states… a shitload more testing before it’s allowed on public roads. But let’s be reasonable about how the autopilot can disengage.

        That was interesting for some people, before we had autonomy levels defined for cars. Nobody wants to know that anymore.

        Tesla’s won’t. Musk fired all his engineers. Mercedes has a better driving record these days.
