    What about malfunction or misidentifications?

    Errors in any machine are common, and errors in automatic driving systems are ubiquitous and constant.

      I’m no mechanic, but I’d guess there’s multiple/redundant sensors so the case where one fails is handled. It is a concern but I’ve never heard of that kind of incident happening in the years they’ve been around

        It’s very common for Teslas to drive into things, like cop cars, parked cars, people and trees and off cliffs.

        Sensors and software aren’t reliable yet for high-speed driving or auto braking.
