I have used Tesla autopilot on twisty cliffside roads (my hands hovering an inch away). The question in my mind was, when there is "nothing" there, is that a place it thinks is okay to go? Or is it a place a place where it should absolutely not go? I wish it could just tell me that.

It doesn't know about dropoffs. It only knows about lane lines. It's really good at following lane lines. Sometimes right into an obstacle.

It knows about the driveable areas even outside the lane lines where it can go in the case of an emergency.
