Maybe the standard of driving in the UK is several orders of magnitude better than it is in the US.

I've driven a Tesla with Autopilot, and it simply didn't feel safe to let it do its thing, and it gave up as soon as it saw anything it didn't like, like maybe a junction or a vehicle changing lanes.

I don't know why you insist on inventing orders of magnitude for each opinion ... Is this hyperbole I'm not picking up on?

Maybe the vintage accounts for our disparity of experience? I took a 2000km road trip to the Austin GP last year. Texas is known for agressive drivers. It never disengaged because of a vehicle changing lanes, or because of a road union.
