reportedly 5 teslas have crashed in this same area because the “autopilot” can’t negotiate the curve

it’s hard to overstate what a bad idea a car autopilot is

in an airplane there’s generally nothing around you for thousands of feet so if the autopilot kicks off you have plenty of time to do something about it

in a car you’re very often a fraction of a second from hitting something at high speed, so by the time you register that you need to do something to fix the autopilot’s fuckup it’s too late

I do see why the self driving cars need a ton of work, but I do not see, why is it a "bad idea", considering, that computers do cut so many human problems out of the equasion.
