Apparently the BMW full self deiving is failing at these tasks too and killing people. It is absurd how quickly the country has allowed self driving...it's like beta testing
What's also scary is how irresponsible people are being with this technology.
I had someone tell me they routinely take naps on their drive into work using lane assist and adaptive cruise control! I started laughing but they didn't laugh back...
I love those technologies and they've literally saved me from a 30 car pileup but I'd never sleep behind the wheel at the current state of it.
Geez people are stupid
Oh god, wtf.
This is why I carry the ol' safety brick. Fits right in the center console. Just make sure to account for velocity when aiming.
