    Just remember your own anecdotal experience does not signify what is the truth. Your statement that Tesla will win the rest is very clearly biased.

    As an example, I’ve never been hit by a car while cycling to work. Does that mean cycling to work is 100% safe? Clearly not, but from my viewpoint it is.

      I don’t have any, nor did I refer to any anecdotal experience, nor would I if I had, so I’ve no idea what you’re on about.

      Your statement that Tesla will win the rest is very clearly biased.

      …based on what? My anecdotal experience? My statement is based on simple logic:

      1. drivers are supposed to be attentive at all times so even if it failed, that’s the fault of the driver for not being attentive, unless, as I said, the system failed to disengage somehow.

      2. There’s absolutely no way they could have known that it was on autopilot at the time.
