Sounds like a software glitch .... call the police/crash the police!
I see this tesla got the ramadan software update.
I have an idea: Stop calling it autopilot, and start calling it what it is - enhanced cruise control.
Tesla and their human crash test dummies.
This should result in an instant dangerous driving charge for the driver. Drivers are required to be in control of their car - you can’t put the responsibility on the “autopilot” - and to monitor the car when it’s on autopilot, being ready to take over at any moment. I would say that this driver clearly wasn’t ready to take over at any moment.
I still think this technology should be banned, for the false sense of security it gives drivers. I would not trust any of these self-driving systems enough that I could actually relax while driving, and staying alert and ready to take over at any moment sounds more tiring to me than just driving the car myself.
