These are videos from the summer. Software updates haven't changed a thing. There are a couple lights on this highway. The glitch remains.
My hands were on the wheel, the car was slow.
The autopilot followed the curved line and veered towards the semi beside me.
My quick reaction avoided the car going under the truck.
While autopilot is a handy feature, it is not perfect.
I do not trust other family members or friends to have a reaction time in milliseconds in a situation like this. Those driving my car who stumble on the feature or wish to try it would be putting themselves at the same risk as speeding.
It's not the first time or location autopilot couldn't assess the road in my experience.
If we have a passcode lock for speed, we need one for autopilot. In the name of safety.
