Thanks for the specific links. An interesting read, and again highlights the lack of allowance for "humans" in the current Tesla model.
As the Tesla model of operation currently requires the human to stay alert, do you know if they also use any of the new eyeball tracking systems to determine the alertness of the driver???
( That would finish off the designer sunglasses tho :-).
Another human foible to overcome )

One thing that does concerm me still is how much automation, and layers of safety are going to be required to make it all work, and how will it be maintained. Making new is cheap these days, but maintenance costs a fortune, so i know what will suffer once it becomes a consumer product.

I wonder what the true cost of maintaining these beasties will be, as sensor failure rate will be an interesting thing to track.
All very interesting

Andrew
