    I am the last person to defend Elon and his company but honestly it’s user error. It’s like blaming Microsoft for deliberately ignoring logic and downloading viruses. The autopilot should be called driver assist and that people still need to pay attention. Deaths were caused by user negligence.

      Exactly. Until the next maybe 2 decades, it should only be called driver assist.
