So still waiting for my MX VIN assignment. Reading the various FB or TM forums, I have read various discussions on autopilot functionality. I have not previously owned an EV, so MX is 1.0 for me. What can I expect autopilot to reliably execute? I gather that in my residential street with no white lines or yellow lines, I can expect autopilot to do nothing. If I am on major street with aforementioned lines, will autopilot make turns at intersections or turn onto highway on ramps if there are no lights involved? I know AP does not recognize stop signs or traffic signals, so in that regard, it is not fully autonomous smart. Does collision avoidance just apply brakes or does the car turn to avoid collisions? Putting in a destination address in navigation allows how much autopilot control versus driver control?
Lastly, while I think I know the answer, if you have car in autopilot on highway and you are the "at fault" driver in a collision, are you fully liable, or does Tesla take any ownership of the functionality of its product as the blame for an avoidable accident that autopilot did not avoid? Is this why they call it "Beta" and what more will it take (stop sign and light recognition) to no longer be an experimental product?
