…the very lack of these [safety] features, which allowed Autopilot to “drive” through any kind of road or traffic condition without driver input, is precisely what made the system seem more advanced and autonomous than anything else on the market. If Tesla were to completely eliminate the risks… Tesla’s supposed advantage in autonomous-drive technology (and the billions in market valuation that it brings) would disappear.

…the key to Autopilot’s success was not an overwhelming technological advantage but Tesla’s risk tolerance. … While Tesla’s official representatives consistently emphasized the fact that Autopilot was not autonomous and required constant driver engagement, Musk had always danced around the contradiction at the heart of the Autopilot gambit.
