    Oh, come off it. Human drivers kill thousands every year. In fact, a human driver is at fault in this incident. He wasn't watching the car like he was supposed to.

    Calling it "autopilot" was one of the worst moves ever, though. It's more of an assistance program. Autopilot makes it sound like it does everything for you and you can just go to sleep in the driver's seat.

      Eh they told him it was autopilot. What should happen as the just thing is both he and Elon Musk get convicted of manslaughter

        The software is really clear that you have to keep driving manually. The name is shit though.

          yeah but that's expecting the users to read more than the name which is wildly optimistic to the point of delusion.

          you have to account for users being the actual stupidest people on earth
