any problem autopilot ejects gracefully and hands it over to the driver.

Gracefully? LMAO

You can come back when it gives at least 3 minutes warning time in advance, so that I can wake up, get my hands out of the woman, climb into the driver seat, find my glasses somewhere, look around where we are, and then I tell that effing autopilot that it’s okay and it is allowed to disengage now!

Yes, that’s exactly how autopilots in airplanes work too… 🙄

I think camera FSD will get there, but I also think there are additional sensors needed (perhaps not lidar necessarily) to increase safety and like the point of the article states… a shitload more testing before it’s allowed on public roads. But let’s be reasonable about how the autopilot can disengage.

Tesla’s won’t. Musk fired all his engineers. Mercedes has a better driving record these days.

That was interesting for some people, before we had autonomy levels defined for cars. Nobody wants to know that anymore.
