HE COMPLAINS THAT HE IS DISAPPOINTED HE NOW MIGHT HAVE TO KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL BECAUSE THEN WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING AUTOPILOT? HE TESTS IT OUT ON LOCAL ROADS WITH NO SOLID BARRIER AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HE PASSES ONCOMING CARS AND A LINE OF TREES WHILST DRIVING HANDS AND FEET OFF FOR 90% OF THE TIME. HE EXPRESSES A BELIEF THAT THE RADAR NOW MAKES THE SYSTEM SAFER. ELON MUSK HAS STATED THAT THE USE OF RADAR IN VERSION 8.0 MEANS THAT THE FATAL CRASH UNDER A TRUCK WOULD PROBABLY NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE NEW VERSION 8.0. MANY OWNERS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE HANDS FREE FOR 90% OF THE TIME. THIS IS A GIANT STEP BACKWARDS FOR ROAD SAFETY. PLEASE ACT QUICKLY TO PREVENT PEOPLE BEING KILLED.
