The Autopilot feature sounds like a dream come true. Drivers keeping their hands off the wheel and letting the car steer, accelerate, and brake for them is certainly futuristic, though in a report by the New York Times, there have been several red flags. Apparently, crashes have occurred when both the driver and the system itself failed to brake.
While there's no doubt Tesla is working to improve the Autopilot feature, it's something of a gamble to give this flawed system a go. It's just another reason prospective buyers are better off waiting to see what happens next before taking the plunge.
