Should Tesla give us the option to disable autopilot with a pin code?

- Auto Pilot
I wasn't complaining about using the product incorrectly. I was pointing out that it is REALLY, REALLY easy for someone to use it incorrectly.
I WAS complaining that the car has no idea what the speed limit is a good portion of the time.
But, I guess you think Tesla should not have enabled AutoPilot for anything other than divided highways?
This is strange. If that was so, airplanes wouldn't need pilots to pay attention. There is nothing with the word autopilot that implies to not pay attention.

I've made this exact argument numerous times, usually the replies are about how we shouldn't expect car owners to understand the limitations of aircraft systems.
Making their argument basically "It's misleading that they name it after a different thing that's actually a perfect parallel for its function but that nobody bothers to read the capabilities of in either case!"
No he way paying full attention, wasnt distracted, hands on the wheel and watched the AP go 20 over the speed limit, run a red light and go over a curb and slam into pedestrians.

Quite a few people have pointed out that in the city, Autopilot maximum speed is Speed Limit + 5.
The Model 3 was traveling on the one-way street called Taylor St, and its posted speed limit is 25MPH.
Thus, if the driver let the Autopilot do the work, the maximum speed would be 25+5= 30MPH.
The reports say the Model 3 was driving 45MPH which meant the accelerator must have been depressed in order to achieve beyond what the maximum speed limit+5 that Autopilot allows.
True, unless the car didn’t know the speed limit or had it wrong, but I don’t think it was on AP.Quite a few people have pointed out that in the city, Autopilot maximum speed is Speed Limit + 5.

Apparently people are walking away from driving off 40-foot embankments in a Model 3.

If only these damn Teslas could fly.
The news in the area is reporting that the police are blaming a medical-related issue (possibly a seizure) as the cause of the crash."

The Model 3 struck the pedestrians after spinning around AFTER hitting a car it seems. That's different than going over a curb and slamming into pedestrians .

As mentioned, it seems that the crash is under full investigation, including criminal charges.
At any rate, since the crash is referenced here, I would like to reference the GoFundMe campaign for the deceased, Benjamin Dean's wife, Kelly and their four children.

If you're willing and able, it would be nice if they could get some additional help financially.
