> Being a human safety driver in an autonomous car is a relatively hard task, and Waymo insists on a lot of training before letting its employees loose in its cars on the road. It’s possible that Tesla is being far less diligent in this regard.

Less diligent or maybe just a shitty employer not giving the folks that work for them enough time or enough money.

Why can't the vehicle detect that the safety drive has fallen asleep? Regular passenger cars have this capability, after all.

This thing is the gift that just keeps on giving.
