      Never go full fanboy… try actually understanding what people are telling you, why fail safes are good idea, why redundancy systems are implemented, etc.

      Your anecdotal experience of “I drive in fog and rain and its been good” means nothing…

      When there are vision issues the car complains

      Except for when it doesn’t and the car plows straight into the back of a lorry. Or runs over a teenager getting off a school bus. Etc.

              Are you serious?

              Autopilot

              Full Self Driving

              “Our cars will travel from the east coast to west coast of the US without any human intervention by 2017”

              “Your model 3 will be like an automated taxi earning money for you while you’re not using it!”

              Etc.

              Tesla is always making out like their cars can drive themselves and it’s just the law that’s preventing cars from driving themselves about unaided.
