NHTSA Complaint #10905969 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE WAY IN WHICH OWNERS ARE BEHAVING IN REAL LIFE. THE PROPOSED UPGRADES TO THE AUTOPILOT WILL DO NOTHING TO PREVENT THE BEHAVIOR SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AEU5OL2IR4M IN COMMON WITH THE SELF-REPORTED BEHAVIOR OF OWNERS ON THE FORUMS, DRIVERS ARE DRIVING HANDS FREE EXCEPT FOR GIVING THE WHEEL A GENTLE TWEAK JUST OFTEN ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE HOLD WHEEL NAG. 90% OF THE TIME IT IS HANDS FREE. THE SYSTEM DOES GUARD AGAINST THE DRIVER HAVING TOTALLY FALLEN ASLEEP BUT IT DOES NOT CAUSE HIM TO KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL AT ALL TIMES TO ENSURE SAFE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS ANY MALFUNCTION OF THE AUTOPILOT OR A MECHANICAL FAILURE OR BLOWN TIRE THIS HANDS FREE DRIVING CAN KILL IN AN INSTANT. I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A KNOW ALL. I AM TRYING TO COUNTER THE FALSE CONFIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN THE AUTOPILOT AND THE UNWILLINGNESS OF TESLA OWNERS TO DESIST FROM HANDS FREE DRIVING.
