Exactly - anyone who owns autopilot knows this.
The atlantic had a relevant piece on the morality there this morning https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/03/got-9...
And that's assuming they can identify that autopilot is statistically safer. If autopilot isn't used in the same conditions as all human driving, the rates aren't apples to apples comparisons, and the "you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident" figure they imply is misleading.
Is that true? I couldn't find statistics that grouped by income or wealth.
"The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive ... and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision."
Regardless of the criticism of Tesla here, surely the driver wasn't watching the road, or otherwise this wouldn't have happened.
It would fit tesla's specially crafted statement.
It makes it look like user was warned and didn't respond by putting their hands on the wheel but its completely false. The AP drove him straight into the barrier with no warning.
