Grover your last sentence says it all. There are brain dead people who work hard at finding cheats to overcome Tesla’s safety features of insuring you are awake and that you have a hand on the wheel. Hanging everything from water bottles and wrist weights, even oranges off the steering wheel so they can text while driving or whatever. And they work. A Tesla will happily drive for hours on the highway with no intervention and no supervision...even though it was not designed to do so. And then something goes wrong, there’s an accident and every body wants to blame Tesla. This will always happen and there will always be dumb people.
The Tesla system works kind of cool. People have been falling asleep at the wheel since cars have existed. If you have autopilot on (FSD not needed) and you fall asleep at the wheel the car will wait for an input on the wheel from you. If you don’t touch the wheel for x amount of time, it will start to nag you with visual and audible cues. If you still don’t respond it will pull over to the side of the road in a controlled manner and turn on the hazards.
Cool.
