yeah, agreed. We just spent a week in St Augustine and Palm Coast dealing with crap from my father's estate. Drivers also suck in SC, but it seems nice to be back in SC (St Augustine was vacation, Palm Coast was way too much stress)

This doesn't seem OK to me. My stance on auto pilot is based entirely on a human being present and responsible. Driverless driving is different. Very different.
What you've posted is far from the worst that's already happened/recorded:

Though it did give a glimpse of the incompetence.

Everything I've said about Tesla dangerously overstepping WRT everything related to autonomous driving is being demonstrated adn reinforced through these clips.

Can we set up bots to discuss Tesla? It would really streamline things.

Not sure I'd trust them to stay on topic without needless killing or maiming innocent bots minding their own business,

There's just too many electrical components such as sensors, actuators, etc. that can go wrong.



I'd rather build a battlebot and see if I can go 3 minutes in the ring with Tombstone or Bite Force, LOL.

How about Tesla come out with an app to participate in forums on tapatalk? It would be easier to program that than to actually get "summon" right. It's right up their pseudo-AI alley.
