Tesla's 'Autopilot' Will Make Mistakes. Humans Will Overreact

The Tesla owner says in the description "Yes, I could have reacted sooner, but when the car slows down correctly 1,000 times, you trust it to do it the next time to. My bad.."

And this is the same problem mentioned elsewhere in this thread. The adaptive cruise being 99.99% effective at stopping trains the driver that it will always work. Especially because Tesla doesn't force the driver to touch the steering wheel, they seem especially susceptible to this issue - and drivers do things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fDbfy0409U&t=0s

This is not an issue until it is.

It seems like the solution is to have the software train the driver to take control in unusual situations.

One way to do that might be that if the car successfully avoids an obstacle on its own without the driver reacting at all, after the obstacle is passed the car pulls over and stops.
