It seems that every other day I see another sensationalist headline about how dangerous AP is, and how Tesla is on the verge of rolling out some form of severe limitation (geofencing or a constant nag). Pretty much all of them include the extremely misleading "Tesla Autopilot tried to kill me!" youtube clip along with a handful of similar examples. All of these show AP being used in ways and circumstances that show a clear and conscious decision by the driver to ignore not only how it's supposed to be used but also basic common sense. These articles take it as a foregone conclusion that a fatal accident "caused" by autopilot is imminent, and demand that Tesla cripple this feature ASAP.
AP has been out for over a month now here in the States. The question is: Has anyone heard of an actual accident that is even tenuously related to AP?
