Another Tesla on autopilot steers towards a barrier

I don't own a car so I drive very rarely (once a month or less). I recently went on a week-long roadtrip in a rental Subaru which had their EyeSight system which does adaptive cruise (follows the speed of the car in front) + lane keeping. I'd say at the end of the day I was noticeably less exhausted than I usually am after a day of driving.

The Subaru system will not let you let go of the wheel for more than 15 seconds (after that it will instantly disengage), so it's more to save your effort of continual minor corrections. It also disengages as soon as it's confused in the slightest (faded lines, lines at an angle etc)

I'm looking forward to trying adaptive cruise control on the new Subaru my dad got recently. I pretty much stopped using regular cruise control years ago because the roads where I mostly drive are busy enough I find that it encourages driving in a way that prioritizes maintaining a constant speed even when that's different from the flow of the traffic.
