These systems aren't perfect and are easily confused. Like the Tesla that drove its owner into a highway divider at 71MPH and killed him...

I mean the driving assistance stuff is great and works nicely already when in traffic. But it isn't a substitute for actually driving... Why do you need it to turn you fully into a passenger? A BMW is made to be driven...
This is the best answer. In my world, if someone wants to injure or kill themselves, so be it. But one doesn't have the right to risk others. Well said!
