    Why don’t they just have autopilot slow to a crawl/ stop by the roadside if the drivers hands aren’t on the wheel?

      During April’s free trial, I tried a bunch of stuff, and when my hands were off the wheel too long, it cut out FSD and slowed within the lane.

      Most of these aren’t a simple matter of just letting it do its thing, and crashing. Some have been attempts to work around the system. Some have been keeping your foot on the pedal so it can’t slow down. Some have been people thinking they’re using FSD but not, including some questionable cutoffs when an accident is unavoidable.
