That's just marvellous isn't it? Imagine what they could do to cyclists!

Another on autopilot has already killed a cyclist in the USA, being unable to recognise a bicycle side on, yet another beheaded it's driver when on autopilot by driving under the the trailer part of an artic as that crossed a road.

They are right that the system was grossly overhyped as level five originally (fully independent driving capability), but Elon Musk has changed his tune since then. The papers he submitted to the US department of transport earlier this year only claimed it was level 2 (limited driver assistance).
