> Tesla’s official response to the clip is that the auto high beam system still is classified as beta software,

Is there any software in this effing car that is not beta software?

Why are regulators allowing Tesla to use beta software which can have an obvious impact on the safety of the driver and those on the road?

Pretty sure the solitaire app is considered stable.

How is beta software controlling the car, but with a licensed adult who can override it, any more dangerous than someone on a learner's permit driving a car, with a licensed adult in the passenger seat?

Because the kid with the learner's permit can ask the adult for help if they are confused about what to do, rather than having to simply pick and option and go with it.

Isn't that what the "take over immediately" message accomplishes?
