Questions:

1 After that accident if you had the opportunity to buy this type of car would you buy it?Why?

2 Do you think this solutions  will help to avoid more accidents? 

My answers

1 I really like Tesla as a company and I think that the cars that they make are amazing,so if I had the opportunity I think I would buy it because I think is worth the risk,I will try to be more careful with the Autopilot and if I see that something is wrong will the route I will take the control again

2I think this solutions are good they might save some lifes but I think Tesla could do more to try to solve this problem.

  • Good job overall. I do think you could have commented more. Also be sure to capitalize words in your title.

  • I would probably still buy the car because it could be really helpful for really long trips. You could also turnoff autopilot at anytime you want to. I think that the soloutions are good to help avoid accidents.

  • I think that I would buy this vehicle. These are amazing cars and everyone just needs to be more careful in this autopilot mode.  Yes, these solutions may help prevent more accidents but you really need to know how to take control and you may be putting yourself in danger. 

  • Cars like these have quite a ways to go until autopilot is a safe mode to use because of multiple events like these, these steps are pretty decent but there's still alot more work that needs to be done.

  • If I had the opportunity to buy this type of car after the accident, I would get it and just be aware of my suroundings and take control again if I noticed something was wrong with the route.  I think the solutions might help some, but there's always risks and dangers.

  • Yes, I would still buy a tesla because many incidents like this don't happen very often and the person could of possibly steered his car the other way if he saw it going towards the cement block. A little bit tesla might improve there safety on the cars to help there customers stay safe.

  • I wouldn't buy an autopilot car because it seems too risky and if it even malfunctioned for one second the people in the car could die. I also would prefer to drive the car myself because I'd feel more secure even if I'm not that good of driver. While having the car deactivate without hands touching the wheel could help prevent accidents, I think it could cause some too because somebody could briefly reach up to tighten their ponytail or something and then the car would suddenly stop, for good or bad results. I personally lift up both my hands when I sneeze too so that could cause problems. 

  • I don't think I would buy the car because they are expensive and I like driving myself. I would not trust a car like this. I think this solution might make it a little more safe but I think it will still have its dangers. 

  • i think that i would because by the time i have  enough money to pay for this kind of car they will figered out all the glitches and kinks in the system to where i would feel comfortable in the car 

    i do fel like the solutions might help a little but i dont think that it will make it perfect becouse nothing is perfict 

  •  I wouldn't buy the car, at least right away. Mostly because they cost a lot of money and driving by myself isn't that hard to do either. But if they made them safer and more reliable then I would consider it if I had the money. 

    I think that they might but I feel like a lot of testing needs to be done with these typse of cars so that they are very safe.
