releasing a product in an unsafe form.
Your comments are continually question-begging. You are continually assuming that AP is "unsafe" "unacceptable" etc. This is a relatively simple empirical question: are there more or less collisions (and more or less serious injuries etc.) with or without AP? Even in its current state of development?
Just because AP is merely L2, and thus still requires constant driver attention and occasional driver action, doesn't mean that it is "unsafe" or "unacceptable".
The issue is: even given APs current state of development, and Tesla's current efforts (or lack thereof) to educate and train Tesla drivers on its use, are there more or less accidents when AP is available to drivers?
Even with the distressingly wide variability of Tesla drivers to comprehend the appropriate use and limitations of driver assistance tools, the statistics for AP1 cars, as published by NHTSA was that AP1 reduced air bag deployments by 40%. Now that AP2 is firmly surpassing AP1, that likely is causing an even further reduction.
So stop stating that AP is "unsafe" or unacceptable" based on this one corner/perfect storm case, until you get some facts and evidence lined up supporting your words. Right now the best evidence is against you quite substantially. More people are alive and had more mere close calls, or totally missed accidents because of the overall aggregate safety improvements of Tesla's AP.
