I've driven Teslas over long distances and their autopilot system definitely makes driving safer, no question. It also requires the driver to engage with driving, otherwise it disables itself and forces you to drive manually. The only problem with the Tesla system is that people have figured out how to intentionally disable or hack their way around the safeguards built into the system. Those people are the problem, not the Tesla technology and they should be prosecuted for their irresponsibility and stupidity. I think that Tesla should make those safeguards less hackable, but the crashes that do occur are always the fault of the driver, not the system. For the forseeable future the driver is always the responsible party.
