As a member of the general public, I absolutely believe it's on Tesla to ensure that their cars can't be tricked into driving completely without driver supervision.

I don't understand why you or others think it's fine just because somebody found a trivial way to defeat their checks. This is a severe public safety issue, since it's not just putting the occupants at risk.

Do you also believe it's up to publishers to control how their cryptography libraries are used, and firearms manufacturers to predetermine each and every end user that will lay a finger on their products?

Are you using logic you know HN doesn't encourage that

Any normal car can be made to drive by itself if you put a weight on the gas pedal... If you are actively trying to circumvent the foolproofing you will always find a way.

That car will crash every time though which discourages doing it, the autopilot will only crash occasionally since it attempts to auto steer, which it makes it far more likely to be relied on and abused.
