This is drifting off topic, but... you're advocating for being constantly alert while the car drives itself? Doesn't this have the same cognitive load as driving, with possibly the additional time needed for "flexing your muscles" to regain control of the driving wheel?

To me, self driving means that I can not care. If I must pay attention to avoid being killed, it is at most some glorified adaptive lane keeping and/or emergency braking. That's nice to have, but it's not self driving.

The person in the accident was not using "full self driving". At that time they only did traffic aware cruise control + lane keeping.

Which one, the model X that crashed on the highway lane barrier/split? That's not the only car crash.

But anyway... That doesn't change the argument, if only it is more worrying

All. FSD isn't out. Many car crashes occur for many car models. What's your point?
