The Tesla S I'm currently driving, pun intended, has autopilot. Utterly shit. It doesn't give cyclists as much room as it should. It won't register potholes and wants to stick rigidly to the centre of the lane. It's really quite stressful to use it even on motorways its answer to most things is to drop anchour and slam on the brakes. Certain overbridges on the M4 in bright sun cause it to see the shadow as something huge.

What happens in that situation? It slams on the brakes to a standstill in the middle of the motorway? Or eventually works it out and carries on without stopping?
It's bimbling along at 70 and drops very fucking quickly to about 45, then "thinks" silly me what was I thinking, and zooms back up to 70. Each time it has happened I haven't thought to check behind to see what carnage it's caused but I'm hoping it thought about following vehicles before it did it.
