Oh good, an oversized guillotine on wheels. Just what I always wanted.

Too human, Tesla got off light for now. This might just save them from themselves. As I've said before, Tesla is just one dead policeman or emergency service worker away from total disaster. They are lucky it has been mostly occupants and poor people the media wasn't interested in which were killed up till now.

You can bring up statistics all you want, but if the pre-existing autopilot killed some EMT doing a rescue on the highway you wouldn't want to own Tesla stock. Suddenly most people would start agreeing with me that it is just too incompatible with human nature.

schmitt trigger:
One thing is certain about Tesla in general and Elon in particular: it elicits heated discussion and wide controversy. It is not a ho-hum automotive company like Fiat, General Motors or Nissan. Well other than that Goshn scandal.

This happens when you are a disruptive company. Have to give them credit at least for that much.

EVs are just a pipe dream.

Don't worry.  For every hydrocarbon molecule the West doesn't buy from you, China and India will buy a dozen. 

You might not like the price, though.

Can't say I agree with this nanny state BS.

If a person cannot understand the simple concept that they are fully responsible for everything the car does while on autopilot then they probably shouldn't be on the road in the first place.

A great step forward would be not to call it "autopilot"!
