Are you sure about that?
When it loses "half its brain," a number of its airbags/other systems and a significant event, yes, I'd like it to shut itself down immediately (but I'm open to arguments about something less dramatic with evidence that would be a better course).

The point, though, is that Tesla's semi-autonomous driving is not ready for use on public roads and is endangering all people that may find themselves in some kind of proximity to public roads. They clearly understand this, yet think they can shift the burden of responsible use to their customers. Disruptive business models and technologies are great. Until they start killing people in "public beta tests."
