The really depressing thing is that this is first-year material for one of the most popular tertiary courses around: psychology. It is simply gobsmacking to think that Tesla thinks a human can retarget their attention so quickly. It's the kind of thing you'd give to first-year students and say "what is wrong with this situation", it's so obvious.

They don't actually believe it, but they have to make the facts fit the narrative of autonomous driving being right there.
