The biggest mistake here is conflating Autosteer with Full Self Driving (FSD). This isn't necessarily the author's fault as Tesla uses the word Autopilot to mean Autosteer, but any Tesla owner should know this.

Either way, Autopilot and Full Self Driving are not one in the same and it's made pretty clear to the end user that autosteer is not for obeying street signs, etc. It's a simple lane-assist, cruise-control assist, and lane switcher when the turn signal is pressed (if you pay for the lesser of the upgrades).

That being said, Tesla's FSD is also not very reliable and in my own personal testing has aggressively "shot the gap" and flew over speed bumps. However, it at least is made to stop at stop signs and traffic signals and does so.

Personally, I'm less interested in what Tesla owners should then I am in what policymakers should force Tesla to do.

I mean what they're forcing tesla to do is annoy their drivers more, not actually change anything, mostly because tesla is actually better than most cars when it actually comes to safety.

No, Tesla declares in their manual that Autopilot can only be used safely if you "keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times". Tesla is only being required to follow their own legal requirements.

Other vehicle manufacturers do not state you must keep your hands on the wheel to safely operate their ADAS features, instead relying on camera-based driver monitoring systems, and are thus not required to issue any "hands-on" warning.

If Tesla wants to deploy a product as advanced as other manufacturers so they can get rid of the "annoying nag" they can just release a product that can, and legally indicates, it can be safely operated hands-free. But, then they would no longer be able to blame the driver for not keeping their hands on the wheel (as it says in the manual) in the event of a death as they have repeatedly.

Excellent point! Bravo

Just as I'm less interested in what drivers should do versus what the government should do, I'm also less interested in what the current state of affairs is versus what it could be.

I don't have FSD speed over bumps anymore, however i wish it was adjustable as its gota pretty hard set at i think 15mph for speedbumps which is just a tad faster than what my wife feels comfortable with
