    What the fuck is the autonomous driving mode even for though? It seems like it’s just a dangerous toy…

      It’s still in its infacy, eventually it will replace humans entirely and the roads will be much safer. Right now it’s just like improved cruise control and kind of pointless.
      Some manufacturers have already said they will claim full responsibility for their cars in self-driving mode, which makes sense to do.

        I’ll clarify: what is the actual purpose of giving customers access to this infantile technology? It doesn’t make following traffic laws easier like cruise control does, it doesn’t make drivers better at driving or safer behind the wheel, and it merely encourages distracted driving.

        So why did they ship this product? Again, it just seems like a dangerous toy.
