The incident, brought to light by Deputy Frank Sloup, has sparked a discussion about the responsibility of drivers when using advanced driver assistance systems, such as Tesla's Autopilot. While these systems are designed to aid drivers and improve safety, they are not a substitute for human attention and control. The driver's attempt to use Autopilot as an explanation for texting and driving raises questions about the understanding of the limitations of the technology and the importance of remaining alert while operating a vehicle.
