150 more warnings than a regular car would give, ultimately it's the driver's fault.

Tesla actively markets their cars as ''the car drives itself''.

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Do we have any evidence from the driver stating that he didn't realize he was using a glorified cruise control similar to autopilot on an airplane?

[–] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

Yes, even in self driving cars the driving is expected to pay attention in case they need to take control in unexpected events

If the driver was unresponsive in a normal car, it would stop.

[–] sugartits@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The driver was responding. If he didn't respond the car would have stopped.

If this was a normal car he probably would have just crashed earlier.

TIL cruise control doesn't exist
