What I took away from the Autopilot commute video is that Autopilot will sometimes get confused topping a hill, that it works better when following another car, that it may have problems with curves particularly on secondary roads, that it stops more abruptly than a human driver would, and that it gets better over time. And I would add that the driver in that video kept his hands near the wheel and was consistently engaged and attentive to driving throughout.
So that I won't get killed by the car, tell me what I missed?
You should expect that at any time the lane steer will drive you into any other lane. The only way to safely prevent that is to keep your hands on the wheel and prevent any sudden torque on the wheel.
You should also never drive like he did with your foot away from the brake and accelerator because the car will occasionally slow or brake hard due to problems with the system.
You are obviously a good guy who has done his honest research. I would love to hear your thoughts on AP once you have the care for a month or two. I think you will see the concerns I am raising.
The thing that is correct is that it does get better with time.
