I've put like 10k miles on AutoPilot. It's not an experiment.

It's not that I know better than them. It's that they are completely blowing things out of proportion.

And you say that based on personal anecdotes

Because nothing more is necessary. If it was an "experiment" I would know about it because it would be driving erratically and attempting to kill me but instead it is "pretty good".

What is the right proportion for it to be blown up to your loved one was killed?

I would be very upset that there was such an irresponsible driver behind the wheel for sure. That's not Tesla's fault. You can't blame Tesla because they added safety features to the car...

Also there are dozens of other cars with this same technology on the road but everyone wants to pick on Tesla because it makes headlines.
