And why would you not believe it? Maybe not for you, but mine does indeed work perfectly and I truly believe it makes hwy driving much safer.
Or much LESS safe. Because you trust it to do certain things, and it fails catastrophically at highway speeds, without a reason or a warning. The argument that you should be always vigilantly supervising it is 100% BS - if it works, it will lull you into a false sense of security.
"Feelings" and "beliefs" are purely subjective and worthless for the purpose of rational discourse.
What matters is data that we can both review, and draw common conclusions on whether or not AP is safer, or less safe, then an alternative
Who has the data? Tesla.
Has Tesla publicly release it to anyone to audit? Hack NO!
If data supported Tesla's self-serving declarations, they would have released it to the public.
In the 10+ year absence of public disclosure, I have no choice to conclude that the data doesn't support their boasting.
Now FSD, is another story. It was neat, but I didn't like it, don't really trust it. I shut it off halfway through my free trial. Autopilot is all I need.
It may be all you need, but is it "good enough"?
Until I see the data (audited by independent authority, not self-serving Tesla), I say "no".
And I will not allow my kids to drive our Teslas with AP enabled or engaged. No way, no how. That sh*t is more likely to kill then to save them.
