it literally verbally and visually warns you to put your hands back on the steering wheel if you take them off

and when you buy the car they literally give you a schpiel about how it's in beta, how you can't just go to sleep while driving, etc

the only way i could see someone legitimately not knowing is if they are using their friend's car and turn on the autopilot on their own and get in an accident before any of the warnings go off

In one ear, out the other. You can give all the long lectures that you want, the new owner will LITERALLY forget it the next day and proceed to do what they want to do.

South Jordan police said the Tesla Model S was going 60 mph when it slammed into the back of a fire truck stopped at a red light. The car appeared not to brake before impact, police said.

The driver, whom police have not named, was taken to a hospital with a broken foot. The driver of the fire truck suffered whiplash and was not taken to a hospital.

"What's actually amazing about this accident is that a Model S hit a fire truck at 60 mph and the driver only broke an ankle," Musk tweeted. "An impact at that speed usually results in severe injury or death."
