Seriously? You expect them to obey that warning? Why? Tesla calls it "full self driving." What part of "full self driving" do you think means "Your Tesla can't *really* drive itself, so pay full attention at all times"? The problem is that Tesla talks out of two orifices. The northernmost orifice has legal sense and tries to make "full self driving" mean "not full self driving, pay attention." This is effectively impossible. The southernmost orifice twitters, "Hey gang, full self driving is here and it's GREAT! Give me $10k and you can try it out. Oh by the way, it's just a beta that you're paying me to test, but trust me, IT'S REALLY GREAT!" When the average guy of average education and perception pays between $50k and over $100k for a car, which one of the above messages do you think he wants to believe? That's why Youtube is full of idiots showing themselves doing precisely what Elon Musk encourages them to do - letting a Tesla drive itself.
