Quote:
Tesla is a “supervised” system where the driver is required to agree
they are monitoring the system and will take control in the event of
any problem.

A core issue is that the autopilot works too well, and I have seen
reports from many Tesla drivers of them trusting it far more than they
should. The autopilot is fine if used as Tesla directs, but the better
it gets, the more it encourages people to over-trust it.
