There is a distinction to be made between self-driving and autopilot with respect to Tesla. I'm confused about the news reports concerning the history of accidents with emergency vehicles. Autopilot is a standard item for all Teslas and is basically a jazzed up version of adaptive cruise control. Self driving is a whole other matter. It's not clear to me under which system these crashes have occurred. As a near future Tesla owner, of course, I'm concerned. There is no way I'm paying $10,000 for full self driving (which is only beta anyway). In any case, the driver is still in command and must pay attention and be responsible.
Even my 2020 Prius has adaptive cruise control and forward collision avoidance, etc. It works great on trips, but you still have to drive!
