There would be a very simple first step here. Stop calling it Autopilot. And stop promoting anything self driving near it

To tell people that you have to pay attention 100% of the time your don't need any of the details. You have stated that over and over again, it just doesn't do enough, because a few weeks later people have forgotten all these statements and new customers or people who just like the car, but don't follow the company might never even have read them.

Solar Roof 9 years ago

But that does not make more sense. If they last 50 years, but your solar roof only has a 30 year warranty then you might look at a complete solar roof replacement, while your average roof would still be good another 20-30 years.

Bla Bla Car is actual ride sharing / car pooling at least as far as I can tell. Basically you already know you want to go from A to B and are just asking others to join. At least that's how it works in Germany and how I can travel across half the country for less than 50€, because I'm not paying the driver but rather helping them pay for their gas bill.

Just funny that the 40% from Autosteer seem to exactly match with the general AEB safety improvement rate also mentioned in the report...

    IIHS research shows that AEB systems meeting the commitment would reduce rear-end crashes[emphasis added] by 40 percent. IIHS estimates that by 2025 – the earliest NHTSA believes it could realistically implement a regulatory requirement for AEB – the commitment will prevent 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries.
