The automated lane-change feature in Autopilot, Tesla's semi-autonomous driver-assistance system, is worse than a human driver, Consumer Reports said.

Autopilot can control steering, braking, and acceleration in some situations, but requires human supervision. In April, Tesla updated Autopilot to allow it to make lane changes without the driver's approval, though the driver must activate this feature. Drivers can also cancel lane changes made by Autopilot.

Testers often had to cancel lane-changes initiated by Autopilot due to safety concerns, Consumer Reports said.

My Model 3 literally saved me from a head on with a obviously drunk driver. I might not even be here if I wasn’t in a Tesla.

Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. Autonomous driving will save at least 3000 deaths per day. Media will still talk about the 287 who died instead of the 3000 lives saved.

It’s not a key feature, it’s an option only available to people who buy the full self-driving package. It’s not part of Autopilot. Please correct your headline.

Tesla Autopilot was in use before car hit truck in fatal crash, NTSB findsA Tesla Model S car involved in a fatal crash with a semi-trailer in Florida was operating on the company’s semiautonomous Autopilot system, federal investigators have determined. LA Times, I cannot believe that you published such raw material. Looks you were paid to publish that. Tesla Autopilot neural net is learning every day as a child do growing and every day becomes better. Where is current data LA Times? Didn’t we know this when the accident first occurred? That is still NO TIME FOR Autopilot system on public roads,more likely coz of too many receivers and too many satelites working in the same area,so keep it sober and drive safely on ur own.

Tesla on autopilot crashed when the driver's hands were not on the wheelIt's happened again: A Tesla driver turned on the car's Autopilot feature and took his hands off the wheel before a fatal crash. Do these auto pilots have a valid drivers license ? Maybe they are DUI. Honestly... This is a perfect example of the lengths one human is willing to go to be unaccountable to the others around them. “The NTSB's report did not indicate the Tesla driver was at fault and said the investigation is ongoing” Gosh cnn. It’s like you make shit up out of thin air or something.
