If one pays for something that is in BETA, one shouldn't complain that it isn't production quality. Maybe the capabilities you want will show up in a dot release!
In the meantime, just enjoy being a beta tester.
I believe that when used as directed, Autopilot, even in its beta phase, is safe.
It's a problem when it is misused. That is not just a problem of beta but also for well proven products as well.
If you use a thin electrical wire for your high voltage, high amperage charger, fire, property destruction and deaths can occur. Not because those wires or chargers in "beta" but because of not reading and not following instructions on how to install the project.
A thin electrical wire is lacking the ability to safely wire for your charger. That does not mean it is useless or we should ban it because it is perfectly fine for you 120V LED light bulbs.
The same is with your Autopilot. It may not be appropriate for some situations but it works very well in certain conditions.
One of those certain conditions was reported in the article:
Tesla Model X driver says Autopilot helped him drive to hospital while suffering from an embolism
"
“It was excruciating pain,” Neally told the News-Leader Friday. “I’ve never had such pain in my life.”
His breathing was limited. He struggled to place a call to his wife, and gasped in pain during their conversation. At times, Neally said, he couldn’t see.
The drive, however, didn’t end in a crash, or with Neally pulling over to the side of the road, although he concedes the latter might have been the recommended practice. Instead, he told the News-Leader, he successfully drove to a CoxHealth facility in Branson for treatment — thanks to the fact that the vehicle was doing most of the work."
If you are not the beta type person, then you should not use Autopilot.
For the rest of us, as very well stated by
@Drivin: "just enjoy being a beta tester."
