Tesla's new Navigate on Autopilot feature performs much worse than a typical human driver at things like changing lanes and passing and poses a serious safety risk, according to Consumer Reports.Where the CEO sits matters"The system's role should be to help the driver, but the way this technology is deployed it's the other way around," said Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports' senior director of auto testing in an emailed statement."It's incredibly nearsighted.
