You are meant to keep your hands on the wheel at all times and pay attention when using the system. There are multiple layers of warnings if you don’t and the system will eventually not allow you to activate it if you ignore the warnings. If you sit there and watch as autopilot drives you off a cliff, it’s your fault.
Yes Elon has been dodgey as fuck with his timelines, taking people’s money and making great claims about the future capabilities of the system and is just an all around asshole but can we try and ground our criticisms in facts?
There are plenty of things we can and should be critical of when it comes to Tesla and making things up just makes it easier for genuine criticisms to be dismissed.
Apologies to you if you actually are making well backed claims, it’s just frustrating to see so much noise when it comes to Tesla and people often just throwing random bs out there.
On that we can absolutely agree and I think scrutiny is definitely warranted with any new technology especially one which has such a huge profit motive. My issue in this case was with the original claim that the system intentionally disengages at the last minute for the purpose of avoiding liability for any crash. Big call.
Anyway, I was probably overly sarcastic and flippant which doesn’t help my point so sorry for venting my frustrations like that. Hopefully these technologies get the scrutiny they deserve without hysteria any time there’s a crash that ‘possibly’ involved autopilot.

It’s the fault of the driver whether it’s engaged or not
Source: trust me bro.
On a serious note though why would they do that? Pretty sure they are legally covered with all the warnings that you are responsible for your vehicle.
