I don't think that autopilot function should be legal for use on roads.

wonder how many deaths it will take before they are forced to address the issue...

Depends on how much money Musk throws at it to hush it up.

Time for a motorcycle with autopilot

The problem with trying to hold Musk responsible is that, to be fair, they do warn, re-warn, warn again, warn constantly that a driver should not rely solely on the system and should be ready to react instantly when needed. Of course, when you call it an autopilot, whaddya expect?

As far as not recognizing bikes, again -- whaddya expect? The dang thing can't recognize an 18-wheeler; it can't recognize "Construction Ahead" or Detour signs; it can't recognize an officer in the road flagging down traffic; it can't recognize ...

Well, you get the drift.
