Monkey See, Monkey Do.

If I see this I get the f.... out of there... same as truck which are about to loss there cargo etc... danger is always around usWell ... I saw a couple more people on the road there. Are they immune to MS impact or what?
And, IMHO, a MUCH better alternative to some of the rumours doing the rounds about TM imposing some form of speed restriction on AP on non freeway roads.
I am sure the driver thought they were being clever, smart or amusing, but this is a bit like the terrorist who tried to get on a plane with some explosive in the heel of his shoe. Result, hundreds of thousands of innocent air passengers have to go through the eternal drudgery of the current airport security process, with "take your shoes off", "take your belt off", "sorry this is taking so long you have missed your plane". Platinum grade idiot! Any remedy TM make to circumvent this sort of thing by imposing speed restrictions is highly likely to inconvenience ALL the other Tesla drivers (who ARE sensible and who DO take care when driving). But I can see that they will want to be seen to be reacting somehow.
There seems to be a common response of "this could be avoided by making AP unavailable if there is no-one in the driver's seat". I agree. Some say "What about someone putting a weight on the seat to simulate a driver?" Well I think any driver would have to start driving to get the car to a position where AP becomes available, ie onto a highway, with lane marking etc. Very difficult to then start wriggling out of your seat at the same time as replacing your weight with a suitable alternative. And, IMHO, a MUCH better alternative to some of the rumours doing the rounds about TM imposing some form of speed restriction on AP on non freeway roads. Reducing the speed limit to 45mph, or to below the road speed limit on minor roads, WOULD NOT have stopped this idiot from doing this. And encouraging people to drive below the speed limit on minor roads could so easily be dangerous if the slow driving causes frustration and impatience by the drivers behind. I feel such a solution would need more thought.
Perhaps a more fundamental question is: why does the car not ALREADY become non drivable if there is no weight in the drivers seat, under ALL conditions? If the driver leaves the seat, should the motor not shut down immediately. Perhaps I am missing a scenario where you would want to leave the seat but still have the motor live? Can't think of one.
I do hope TM are not thinking of limiting the functionality of AP as a solution, rather than imposing some level of defence against improper use.
AndyW, thanks for the clarification. As a newbie I am not in a position to know what is fact and what is speculation, yet. I still don't think TM's idea of imposing silly limitations on minor roads is the solution. It does not address the idiot who wants to film themselves on the freeway, and it just imposes irritating and irrelevant limitations on an otherwise very good driver aid. If I had seen this amendment before I "confirmed" my order, I would have ABSOLUTELY have cancelled my order.
