It's a shame that the quasi-AV enthusiasts buying Teslas and the like are part of the population of drivers who have been causing 40,000 road deaths a year. And if they're spending all that money to buy a car with eight cameras and driver-assist software, they're sure as hell not going to pay even as much attention as they were when they were driving their dumb cars, which wasn't all that much, what with having to text and apply makeup.

Expecting those drivers to be paying attention when the AV gets confused and is about to plow into an emergency vehicle or a motorcycle or a bicycle is like expecting the people you see on bikes with helmets dangling from their handlebars to put the helmet on just before a crash.
