    Eh…

    I hate to do it, but in fairness the worst drivers are going to be the first to adapt self driving cars.

    The issue is Tesla misrepresents how “self driving” their cars are.

    So idiots who are bad drivers think the car is a good driver. Because they’re comparing it to their own driving, and overestimate how good they are at it

      It’s not just to my own driving. It’s compared to other cars around them and to other cars around me. I just as often see Tesla drivers do stupid things unrelated to me.

      I was at the mountain snowboarding this weekend. Two Teslas attempted to drive up the road to park. Both got stuck in the same place, one after the other. Then, instead of backing up or getting out of the way, they just got out and walked to the resort lodge.

      This is just idiotic behavior and I see it time and time again. Seattle, where I live, has one of the highest Tesla ownership percentages in the country.

      I’m all for electric cars. I am trying to understand why Tesla drivers have so many morons behind the wheel.
