Because FSD pulls drivers into a sense of complacensyct, so when something goes wrong a panic reaction can cause catastrophic consequences.
I have a neighbor who says she watches YouTube videos while driving between Florida and Virginia. So much for being aware and ready to take control...
That shouldn't be possible, it watches where your eyes are pointed and freaks out if it's not into the windshield. Unless she mounted her phone directly in front so it looks like she's watching the road, I guess. People will always circumvent safety measures to their detriment.
the entire car is coded by low-bidder, it wouldn't surprise me if there are hacks out there...which is why I don't like computer controlled cars in the first place...
Anything connected to the internet can be hacked.
