Damn Tesla! If the the company isn't murdering baby seals, they're murdering motorcyclists! To save everyone else the read, looks like Tesla's auto-pilot might not be able to detect motorcyclists. That's okay, they're probably working on it.... I'm still more worried about the inattentive driver than the auto-pilot.
The adaptive cruise control in my Audi can detect motorcyclists just fine. I would like to think that the system used Teslas is as good, if not better.
Makes you wonder if the Auto Pilot in the Tesla was actually on, or if the driver was just using it as an excuse.
Tesla's autopilot has failed to see transport trucks and crashed into them as a result of that. How do you expect it to see a motorcycle?
This "technology" should never have gotten into public hands. Distance keeping cruise control + automatic lane-keeping does not equal take your hands off the wheel and read a book. The collision-avoidance/prevention logic should have been implemented first. That's what other manufacturers are doing ... and why.

IMHO. I do not trust anybody. Never mind a driverless car. I think most of us think the same.
