Where's the proof that it was a driver education problem? This argument gets rehashed every month or so here on HN.

Well, every time this discussion comes up, HN spends >100 posts splitting hairs as to what calling their system 'autopilot' implies.
Given that the technology is useless if you use it as 'intended' (Be aware, and in control of your vehicle 100% of the time[1]) I don't think this debate will be settled anytime soon.

Not to mention basing this on a single data point where a fatality occurred. How about the tens of thousands of other drives vs standard? That would at least be statistically relevant.
Even though what they released isn't a self-driving car but a glorified cruise control. I personally don't really see how that is reckless at all.
