that's what i don't understand. if you're paying attention, how can autopilot cause an accident ?
It generally won't. The big issue is that humans are humans, and many of them stop paying attention as the auto-pilot doesn't enforce that they have to.
in other words, if you're driving and auto pilot starts to send you out of your lane, it should be trivial to correct it back to where you want to be.
Even when you are paying attention, if the auto-steering suddenly starts going straight when it should be continuing a turn, you have a very limited amount of time to react before the error may be unrecoverable in some situations (generally situations where you shouldn't be using the auto pilot anyways....but again, in Tesla's case, they don't prohibit you from using auto-pilot on non-freeways, like some other manufacturers do using maps/GPS).
