Have you driven one? I find I am far more alert and less with less cognitive fatigue when it is on autopilot. People may misuse the technology, but they text and drive a car without it. (and have far more accidents). It is far far better. Try it.

I havent actually. But I drive a car with a gear(stick) and whenever I drive a car without one it feels that I can use the hand to hold some coffee or get some texting done.

I do get your point regarding cognitive fatigue though but I think we need a conclusive statistic rather than one thrown by Tesla.

I cannot relate to this at all.
