You have to do that with most of this tech too.

Just because some people are idiots doesn’t mean everybody is.

Unless you were in the car there is no way to know this but I get it your only objective is to blame Tesla. The driver likely fully understood how FSD works especially since they were an engineer.

Even the Mercedes level 3 system says the driver has to be ready to take over at any time.

Why must you get so defensive? Where did I disparage Tesla? Their FSD isn't ready? Neither is anyone else's

And then they fell asleep and died a horrible death.

In my cars that's how it is.

Agreed, but it often is not advertised or promoted that way.

Only Tesla has done that, and I agree Tesla has inaccurately marketed their systems.
