It isn't just Tesla drivers. I have a long-time friend who finds the nifty safety features of his CRV particularly useful for helping him to all but not have to drive on the highway. And this is what my earlier point was- these systems become a crutch that is not enhancing the drivers attention, or aiding in their safe decision making when driving. It is effectively replacing certain portions of their responsibility, not by design, but by their abuse of such systems. His attention at highway speeds is not enhanced by the lane centering system or adaptive cruise control, he uses those systems to cruise while watching movies to his phone suction cupped to the windshield. His major complaints about these systems, so far, are that they often don't work very well on broad turns along the roads he drives, where they might panic brake because they see vehicles in other lanes and respond to those, despite them not being at risk of being hit.
There is no way that he is an example of a safer driver on the road than someone driving a completely safety-monitor free vehicle, who actually sits and accomplishes the tasks associated with driving their vehicle.
The sole reason I whinge on about the invasion of privacy and further effective loss of rights, is because the people who are nominally charged with writing these regulations within the limits of Constitutionality have clearly stopped paying any attention to these documents.
