The software engineer that died when his Tesla hit a barrier only had a 4 second window to react [1]. Hope you’re not looking away for too long.

Yeah like I tell my relatives and friends, "I'm a software guy which is exactly why I don't fully trust this thing. I know my people and know exactly how the sausage is made."

I only use autopilot on a sunny day, with less traffic (if going full speed, or in a traffic jam where you're going 10 mph) and only if the lines are very obvious.

Anything away from that happy path, I'm manually driving.
