Your logic is fundamentally flawed. Ford/GM today, use autonomous driving systems that do not require hands on wheel. Today. On public roads.
Tesla (known for saying one thing, but actually doing another), has its software coded to defeat steering nags by simply adjusting stereo volume.
Add to that, as
@Knightshade points out, you have not shown a single proven case where a steering wheel weight has resulted in even a single accident, much less a fatality.
(moderator edit)
Ford and GM track eyeballs; that's well known. On the FSD-b, Tesla may track eyes, but, apparently, not to the extent that GM and Ford do.
So, Tesla says, "Keep your hands on the wheel." And they do that by looking for torque, pretty obvious. It's
not hands free: Tesla itself says so and puts up tons of warnings in the "You accept this" when one turns that feature on and additional, real-time checking when the car is being driven. And they
keep on stating to keep eyes on the road and the driver in control of the car.
Then you, and others like you, run around putting jiggly little weights on the wheel, defeating the real-time checking. If you've gone that far, then, why not go farther? Read a book, watch a video on the cell, play video games, why not? The rest of the driving world has no clue what you're up to in the driver's seat. But, by your own words, you've defeated one of the safety checks in the car.
So, what happens if the General Tesla-Driving Public follows your advice? Let's have a million drivers with jiggly weights on the wheel, why not? YOU do it, so you likely think that everybody else
should as well. How long before somebody discovers that Tesla wasn't kidding about keeping eyes on the road and runs into a bridge abutment? Y'know, THAT HAS HAPPENED. At least twice; once with a game-playing idiot in California somewhere, and again with an idiot who turned on TACC/LK on some high-speed, four lane, non-limited access highway, and smackered straight into semi who turned onto the road, during the time when the Tesla vision system didn't pick it up. From what can be figured, based upon the second case's posts and videos, the idiot was in the habit of watching video while driving. Yeah.
So, yeah, I think you and your buddies continual mentioning of how cool you think the jiggly weight approach is is pretty darn stupid. People who have actual brains don't defeat safety measures. Just like (in my opinion) people who don't wear seat belts demonstrate a certain lack of grey matter. Or, perhaps, an impending lack of grey matter. (I've known EMTs who were active in the 50's and 60's whose horror stories about cracked and busted windshields, from the inside, with the associated guillotining of the drivers were hard to listen to. Safety glass is your friend, but it's better not to have close personal acquaintance with the material.)
The reason I suspect that you're a troll is that you tend to write pretty well. The truly idiot types usually flunked English somewhere, so their grammar and spelling usually leave something to be desired. That implies that you are thinking.. But, apparently, to an end that's meant to harm, not help, your fellow humans.
Finally, for what it's worth: I do keep my eyes on the road with FSD-b, NAV, Autopilot, TACC/LK, whatever. The car may be driving itself and doing a decent job; in which case, my eyes are monitoring how it's doing and keeping an eye out for serious traffic anomalies that might develop. (Speaking of which: This past Monday, coming down I-84 outside of Hartford, got passed on the left by a small pick-up towing a small camping trailer. No biggie.. until they got about 300 yards up, hit a bump, the trailer disconnected and zipped to the right, hitting and jamming into some innocent in the right lane of three, shoving the SUV she was driving onto the verge, narrowly missing a light pole. And not going down over the embankment and rolling. The SO and I pulled over and spent some time helping this woman get over the shakes.. and taking pictures, which seems to have dissuaded the truck drivers from hitching up their trailer and booking it out of there. Fun. State cops got the video.)
