What about: slow down, pull up to the right, stop the car, THEN disengage?
I think that's what it was supposed to do. I remember seeing a few videos about this.
IIRC it doesn't pull up to the side, but it does slow down slowly and safely until a full-stop.
Then the autopilot disengage.
This is what it does already: https://youtu.be/oBIKikBmdN8
That wasn't what it did here.
Like all the poor delusional fanbois here, you are going on the wrong assumption that some warning has been ignored. Just watch the initial video again and listen better this time.
I’m not even replying to the article or the original commenter. I’m replying to the person that said “why doesn’t the car slow down and stop when the warnings are ignored?” which is precisely what it does.
I’m far from a Tesla fanboy, and there is no shortage of valid criticisms against Tesla. However, misrepresenting what autopilot does in the event of a forced disengagement isn’t right either.
