I watched some YouTube footage of a guy testing Tesla autopilot detection of motorcycles last night. The outcome was it was erratic most of the time.

I’ve heard and seen other stories of drivers in Tesla’s virtually sleeping during commutes.

How scared are bikers about these advances?

Should there be legislation around bikes maybe having to emit a signal to show autopilot Cars where they are, gps or ... but of course that leaves people open to self incrimination for speeding or tracing individuals.

Maybe cars should have some outward way of letting other drivers know it is being autopiloted? That way may stop some road rage and make other road users more cautious?

I did find a newer video reviewing some functionality of Tesla’s inner workings. This was impressive when it starts to measure the variation of road wetness as it increases
