I have used Tesla’s autopilot...it has its moments...I don’t think it can make decisions within 10 second windows before obstacles.

It’s also very dodgy at certain merges. I take it off autopilot.

On a slightly diff note: I wanted a demo of auto parallel parking and also reverse parallel parking and summon feature after the last update. I went to the Tesla showroom. They were super nice but refused to demonstrate due to liability issues. They stood aside and a little away ..gave me instructions. Worked like a charm and it was awesome...but didn’t inspire confidence.

I rented a Tesla Model S from Enterprise recently and learned they don’t enable Autopilot due to liability issues.

This is good to know. I was planning to rent one to show my family when they visit.

Autopilot or the Full Self Driving features? Autopilot itself is just lane assist and adaptive cruise control: the lane-changing features aren’t part of it.
