This seems like a pretty terrible idea. As a driver, it is almost impossible for me to understand the complex implementation details of a &quot;partial&quot; autopilot. The car will stop in this situation, but not in this. It reads this kind of signs and not that kind of signs. Autopilot has to be an all or nothing proposition. Either I am in charge or the autopilot. Incidentally, the <i>perception</i> of who is in charge will be crucial for any legal action arising from an accident involving the autopilot. I can imagine the case now:<p>Driver: &quot;I thought it would stop&quot;
Tesla: &quot;You should have read the manual, we do not detect this sort of hazard and you did not listen to the warning to take the wheel.&quot;
