Shouldn't Teslas be easier to use with all that automation? If not, what's the point of automation?

OTOH, I'm all for raising the requirements for getting issued a driving licence, it's just then we have to make a way for people to make do without driving.

To add another factor:

People buy muscle cars and over accelerate because they can't handle the power of those cars

EVs accelerate much quicker than normal cars, Tesla's more than normal EVs

So if someone isn't using the automation they're still susceptible to the classic "overshot into or over something" situation

They also think because the car accelerates quickly it will also stop as quickly. Same as idiots that drive too fast in the snow.
