I think Tesla should rename Auto Pilot to Darwin Award Mode.

And improve motorcycle detection as well as use LIDAR.

It's not that Teslas are killing their owners. Teslas are killing first responders to road accidents, kids getting off buses and motorcyclists. We're all exposed to the problems caused by Musk cutting out testing to save some money.

Heck, even using the same sonar/radar/whatever normal cars use other than just cameras would be a huge improvement
