I shouldn't laugh, but that article is hilarious. For those who haven't read the article, the families of people who have died in car crashes in Tesla's are suing Tesla for wrongful death. However, Elon Musk has essentially advised that people are becoming overconfident in using the assistive technology. Then the article goes on to say this....
Code:
Since its launch in 2015, Tesla owners have sought out new and creative ways to trick Autopilot. People couldn’t wait to upload videos sitting in the backseat while their cars drove “autonomously” down the highway. Tesla responded by updating its software to require drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel — which seemed like a smart fix until one driver figured out all you needed to do to fool the system was wedge an orange against the wheel to simulate the pressure of a human hand.
“Autopilot Buddy” was a piece of magnetic plastic that attaches to the steering wheel in order to create the impression that the driver is keeping his or her hands there. Federal regulators issued a cease and desist order to prevent its sale.
People love tricking technology, even if it could cost them their lives.![[Image: 4GNsK67.png]](http://i.imgur.com/4GNsK67.png)
