I would say depends. If the user was using the feature correctly then Tesla should have some liability.
Most of the crashes I’ve seen the people were not using the feature correctly.
They might be using it how Tesla markets it.
No, the majority of crashes I’ve seen. Nowhere does the marketing say read your email and take you hands off the wheel.
So I assume autopilot disconnects as soon as you take your hands off the wheel, or there’s iris tracking to ensure you’re looking at the road? It’s not like either of these is exotic technology.
It does both. Not immediacy but after about 30 seconds.

No, it does not.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I drive one every day but thanks
Tesla's official channel from 5 years ago says otherwise. Its nice of them to put up incriminating material that a layman can find in 5 seconds.
Autopilot and full self driving are not the same thing.
So I’m not sure the point you are trying to make?
The state of California does not agree with you.

Edit: Tesla's own website still advertises Full Self Driving as an enhancement of autopilot.
The article does not state they are the same thing. Did you actually read the article? Can you show me where it says they are the same in the article?
Good luck not getting killed then..
