One of my colleagues, a young and smart man 100% relies on Auto Pilot for a certain routine 400+ mile commute between cities. We have talked to him about it, his experience of never seeing it fail IMO creates a false sense of security in relation to Auto Pilot for him. I doubt he is alone in this kind of thinking.

I’ve seen this also. Seeing how my smart, tech-savvy friend reacted to having a Tesla made me less likely to get one.

> 400+ mile commute

How is that even a commute anymore? In Europe that would be cross-country roadtrip.


That’s about the same distance as SF to LA. Not a daily commute, but some people do drive this far weekly.

It’s once every 1-2 weeks. Sorry I thought “routine” would convey “periodic” back in that moment.

I just say my house never burned down in my entire life either, that's why it's ok to leave flames unattended and probably we should even disband that waste of money local fire department whose services I have never needed once.
