    The biggest flaw that I see with this current system, apart from the fact that it flat out sucks, is that the AI can "opt out" of driving at any time without notice. There's a big difference between maintaining a constant level of engagement and control over your vehicle vs suddenly having to make a split second decision when a buzzer goes off.

    I'm sure that Tesla has designed it that way, so that as soon as the AI detects some risk of making a bad decision it shuts down and shifts the responsibility onto the driver. But this basically means that you have to be 100% focused on the activity of the car at all times. So to use the AI properly, you need to act as though it's not even there, but of course what's really going to happen is that people are just going to use it improperly and Tesla can say that it's the drivers fault when crashes occur.
