  Ah yes, “I’ve personally done this and I’m the most important, therefore it’s not true. It’s the experts and engineers who are wrong.”

  Besides “everybody look at me!!”, what is your point?

    It’s not that I know better than them. It’s that they are blowing things out of proportion.

      And you say that based on personal anecdotes, rather than education and design/testing/systems implementation experience.

      Do you think 10k miles (unknown time frame, but my point stands even at one year) is a singular meaningful data point for the thousands (millions now?) of Autopilot enabled Teslas?

      What is the right proportion for it to be blown up to if it was your loved one killed?

        Because nothing more is necessary. If it was an “experiment” I would know about it because it would be driving erratically and attempting to kill me but instead it is “pretty good”.
