OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

Looked it up some, In ideal conditions, and with supervision. The pilot can't just take a nap and forget about it. Which, two Tesla's credit when you activate the feature for the first time it does make you read a large unskippable warning that you need to be paying attention at all times. I still don't mind the name autopilot I just hate that they are marketing it as fully autonomous self-driving because that's the part that implies you don't need to be watching over it (to me)
