None of those things are expected to replace you. Autopilot is advertised as replacing you as a driver at least some of the time. Except apparently it sometimes doesn't. If we aren't to the point of full autonomous yet, then Tesla should have done what all the other vehicle manufacturers are doing; get something that is at that point before releasing it. Tesla drivers are nothing but human guinea pigs. I guess they signed up for that but it seems bizarre to me that anyone would.
So what's the point of having a car that can brake for you if you have to do it manually all the time anyway? Because if you let it do 'it's thing' it might be too late to take over and you'll be blamed for the accident?
Because it really doesn't matter whether it is self-driving or not. What matters is whether it is reasonable to expect people to stay attentive at all times when they're not doing anything.
Its one thing if Autopilot beeps and says 'please take manual control' a comfortable time before the accident occurs. But what the hell is the point of having an automatic driving system if you have to sit there waiting for that split second between when you realize the autopilot isn't working and when the accident occurs?
The problem is you call any system with 'sanity checks' socialism or communism like it's a dirty word, without stopping to think about how to optimize the advantages and get the most out of them.
What 'freedom' do you have in the US that you wouldn't have as a citizen of any other democratic wealthy nation? Freedom to go bankrupt if you get sick.
It was the farmers that were lazy. Contributing members of farming communities generally worked an average of 2 hours a day year-round. Imagine surviving on two hours a day today.
What if saving for retirement is beyond this balance for many people? There are a lot of people who don't make enough to both save for retirement and live a comfortable life. Just because they haven't socked money away doesn't mean they are financially irresponsible.
Yes it's the same old 'sock your money away until you die' philosophy. People don't know when they will die. My wife has been seriously ill twice, should we be living an ultra-frugal life now and basically making our lives miserable and never doing anything fun together as a family so I can have a big pile of money once everyone has gone their own separate way? I understand that there are over spenders, but what I am saying is that there are under spenders too.
I've never found a contract job that will cover my corresponding salary and healthcare plus all other financial and time costs of being independent. Maybe there are some good ones out there, but a lot of them are a scam.

So you're working without having EI savings then.
So when you contract, you get a 4 hour a day job so you can promote yourself for the other 4 hours of the day? Or do you spend your life doing this.
You sound like you're a peach.

Uh, the fact that Elon Musk is willing to have people drive around with it??
You're not just asking them to be competent, you're asking them not to express human traits.
Humans cannot be expected to take over in all circumstances. Tesla needs to own up to that.
The car claims to be able to drive, it should be prepared to take some of the fault.
So the driver has to be practically superhuman.

No disclaimer was ever required to 'remain alert' with cruise control. That makes it very different from cruise control.
We're not talking about those people.
So this excuses it from being safe?
Now companies will allow people to die so that they can get data. Gotta love corporatism.
So best case, no one shoud trust Autopilot. There simply isn't enough time to take over between when you trust it and when you realize you can't.

Most people just want to do a job and don't want to spend their lives negotiating for a better deal.
One of those things you have to allow for when you negotiate the rate.
This is why these jobs go to 20-30 year olds that can always live in their parent's basement again if they have to and don't care about EI.

Most people are not addicted to credit cards. Most people are just trying to make the bills from month to month.
