I disagreed because this is squarely the responsibility of Tesla to close the obvious cheats to their driver monitoring.I hope they ban you from AP/FSD. May be report to NHTSA as well.
At some point it becomes sufficiently difficult to defeat that those who wish to do so and have the means & knowledge are few in number, and that reduces risks substantially.
Just like with normal driving, there are bad drivers everywhere who end up causing fatalities. The idea is to minimize the numbers.
They should continue to work on the cabin camera monitoring as well. (Static image detection, etc.)
If the system is so easy to defeat that anyone can do it, that’s on Tesla.
At some point Tesla also needs to evaluate whether it is safer to not disable AP, but I doubt they are there yet. (There is a whole other viewpoint on this - Green has discussed this before - you don’t want to remove driver assistance when it is most needed.). Punishing the driver doesn’t make sense. The system should be set up to maximize driver engagement with the driving task.
