Tesla - 2 years from full driving. Since 2015.

Full driving is now like fusion power ... always right around the corner :/

"The feature cut off cars without leaving enough space and even passed other cars in ways that violate state laws"

um, how is that indistinguishable from a human driver?

and passing on the right

Passing on the right is legal on multi-lane roads in pretty much every state in the US: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13o588Jy5G3cyHEJrk6bN...

But not in Connecticut, where CR tested the feature.

Its legal when there are 3+ lanes on the highway, 2+ on a one-way road (as shown in the spreadsheet).

In some states, passing on the right is a necessity unless you don't mind being stuck behind someone going 10 mph under the limit in the left lane.

"“The system has trouble responding to vehicles that approach quickly from behind,” Fisher says. “Because of this, the system will often cut off a vehicle that is going a much faster speed since it doesn’t seem to sense the oncoming car until it’s relatively close.”"

I find this part to be the most dangerous as driving in California, you will see drivers often far behind on the right come in fast. If their sensors can't detect that, it can be a catastrophe. I can't imagine cutting someone off who is going 85 while i'm going 65.
