This dude though. He said a bunch of nonsense but he managed to mention something important.

If you disengage Autopilot/FSD by grabbing the wheel, it remains in "normal" cruise control and the car continues to move forward to maintain speed. THIS IS NOT GOOD BEHAVIOR. If you grab the wheel to disengage, it should also immediately halt speed maintenance and start braking, not continue to try and maintain speed. This is a long-standing issue I have with behavior of Autopilot/FSD.
 
Gary got jokes! lol

Yeah. TACC should be an intentional thing, not a default when you try to turn off Autopilot.

If slamming on the brakes is not your no.1 (or no.2 - after veering) defensive instinct in a car, you're not a good driver. Not Tesla's fault to anticipate what you want. To be clear, a Tesla will already brake if it sees a stoppage ahead. TACC is not a design flaw.

Huh? How is slamming on the brakes the only reason you would turn off autopilot? Have you ever driven a Tesla?
 
Gary's question was actually not a bad one. A succession plan is good to have, even if the current CEO plans to remain indefinitely, in case of any kind of a catastrophe. Elon should consider at least having one man prepared to take over the duties of the CEO. Zach would be a perfectly good "interim" CEO in case he is needed, for example. Steve Jobs had quietly been grooming Tim Cook for many years to take over in case anything happened.
