I completely agree with the author on this topic.
Regarding another issue:
>Other Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) all "nag" for attention just as much, if not more.
This is simply not true. I know for a fact that modern Toyotas and Lexuses do not nag you nearly as much (there's no need to constantly jiggle the wheel), and the nagging will NEVER result in being banned from using autosteer (or Lane Keep Assist). Furthermore, when someone in a Toyota is involved in a crash, they don't claim, "I had Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Keep Assist on!" However, if it's a Tesla crash, the narrative often becomes, "I had Autopilot on, so it's on Tesla."
Personally, I would prefer if, when I'm crossing a road and a car is driving towards me, it would be a car whose driver is using a phone with both hands but with autopilot activated, rather than a car with no assistances where the driver is holding the phone in one hand and the wheel in the other, glancing at the road for half a second and thinking they can perfectly read the road situation.
I'm concerned that people will start abandoning Tesla for this reason. What's the point of Autopilot if you need to constantly juggle the wheel, nervously looking at the display for a nag, but if you look too much, you get banned? There's also another aspect to consider: Tesla wants to be on the safe side to such an extent that it's making Autopilot useless. This is likely to protect itself from claims like, "I was driving 100km/h on Autopilot in a school zone, so it's Autopilot's fault.", so to be safe tesla applies 30km/h school zone limit for the next 30 minutes of driving.
When you can just buy virtually any other car and use those assistances without any hindrance. This is not a theory; I'm doing exactly that right now - looking for options. I like my Model Y, but the inability to use assistances, nags, bans is just killing all the enjoyment.
Now the question arises: were these changes actually lobbied by Tesla's competition...
