This is the danger of Tesla calling their driving aids "Autopilot" and making a huge deal about it, then telling people quietly "but you still have to pay attention..:" *nudge nudge* When you are told it's Autopilot, and you can drive some ways without paying attention, what makes anyone think people will actually pay attention?? I do not understand how this is allowed to happen.
Well it's Elon Musk, so it's OK. If GM was doing what Tesla is doing, there'd be billions of dollars of fines. Well, maybe not GM,
And then who pays! Tough putting software engineers in jail..
Warning to others -- the video in that link shows someone dying.
This is why we need to stop allowing people with cars off so easy. This is why we need to stop subsidizing private car driving. This is why we need to stop putting 95% of transportation funding into just roads.
That person is dead whether they were on a bike, with or without a helmet, or they were walking down the street, or they were in small car, etc etc etc.
We need to build cities for people. Not multi-thousand-pound automobiles that spend most of their life just sitting around.

My understanding is that there are shield laws on the books to protect automakers against certain lawsuits regarding self driving car failures. All in the name of facilitating development of self driving cars. it's my belief that development of these systems will go better with the companies and the CEOs on the hook for huge claims. They CAN do this development in a "safe" way if they are motivated to do so.This is the danger of Tesla calling their driving aids "Autopilot" and making a huge deal about it, then telling people quietly "but you still have to pay attention..:" *nudge nudge* When you are told it's Autopilot, and you can drive some ways without paying attention, what makes anyone think people will actually pay attention??

It's inherently unstable and can only fly with the computer. That made it highly maneuverable. Plus early 1960's simulators- which didn't and designing response of the stick.In it's early days the fly-by-wire F-16 was known as "The lawn dart".
They don't say whether the pedestrian walked in front of the cyclist. I know someone here in town who suffered a severe tib-fib fracture when he made an avoidance maneuver on his bike to avoid hitting students who crossed the street without looking after getting off the bus.Looks like the cyclist can get it done all by themselves.

People have to accept responsibility for their own actions.
