Below is a link to a "New York Times" article about Elon Musk's recent press event. The article points out that the self driving aspects of auto-pilot may not be legal. How concerned should we be about this?
Elon Musk Says Self-Driving Tesla Cars Will Be in the U.S. by Summer - NYTimes.com
One excerpt:
“There’s a reason other automakers haven’t gone there,” said Karl Brauer, an analyst with Kelley Blue Book. “Best case scenario, it’s unclear. If you’re an individual that starts doing it, you’d better hope nothing goes wrong.”
Mr. Brauer said while a handful of states had passed laws legalizing autonomous vehicles, those laws were written to cover the testing of driverless cars, not their use by consumers.
“It’s not just a philosophical reason why automakers haven’t allowed their vehicles to drive themselves,” he said. “There’s a legal reason, too.”
