As a 5 day new Tesla driver playing with auto pilot you can just feel the thing is over worked. The road I live on HWY 36 in California was a joke on autopilot. Car can't do it has to slow well below speed limit. Every other turn it tries to drive off the road and gives up steering. Also roads with cracks that are black with pavement sealer confuse the car to no end. The car is color blind and the vision system gives it no time to react.
