Wow. You do realize that that all this device does is invite more of the "idiots" you mentioned to crash their cars while harming themselves and others?
When Tesla released this feature it was a first for the automotive industry and they assumed that customers would use the feature in a responsible way. When it was evident some did not, they introduced additional safety measures to make it more likely that customers would use Autopilot in a responsible way. Tesla continues to refine how Autopilot is implemented and used to maximize the safety of customers and save lives.
Your moral equivalency of Tesla working to keep customer safe and save lives with a tool whose whole purpose in life is to bypass said safety measures reminds me of the absence of common sense, facts, and logic prevalent in some corners society these days.
Tesla should be commended for how much they have done to advance autonomous and semi autonomous driving technologies but with the advancements comes great responsibility to ensure the software is used as designed. If a bunch of more people crashed their cars while not paying attention, none of us will have Autopilot any more.
