Right. When the AP detected road conditions that it couldn't handle, it should have reduced vehicle speed as much as necessary for handling them. Yes, it was dumb to trust AP at 50-60 mph on a two-lane canyon road. But it was also dumb to ship AP that can't fail gracefully.

I do admit, however, that slowing down properly can be hard. It can even be that hitting an inside post is the best option. Still, I doubt that consumer AP would have put the vehicle into such an extreme situation.

I think it also needs AP confidence indicator, so the driver could get ready to pick up the wheel.
