The driver was also not even paying attention to the road so the blame should be on him not the car. People need to learn that Tesla's version of autopilot has a specific use case and regular streets is not that.
They should really have called it something else than autopilot/FSD. It's a driver assist and everyone knows this but it's so easy to dunk on them when it fails because of the name though I'm 100% sure the system tells you to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel when you engage it. If you crash a "self driving" car it's the fault of the driver - not the vehicle.
Tesla is producing advertisement videos that say 'our cars drive themselves, you don't need a driver'.
TBH I dont watch ads ever so would you be able to show me one where they show people driving on regular streets with full self driving? I dont doubt that they advertise it im just curious how they present it and how someone might perceive.
