One small factor that Tesla drivers may not grasp about this "recall" judging from some of the comments --- having an accident with "autopilot" engaged will now become more the driver's fault.

As a condition of the recall? I'm not understanding. I'm not a fan of this whole "autopilot needing driver intervention to avoid danger" product launch at all. It's absurd. Either limit it to just highways and focus on that model, prohibiting it from city traffic, or just limit use to some other context-specific form. I don't even trust my new Mercedes to slow down on cruise control when cars are too close and that's an insanely simple feature.
Rather than promoting the "self driving" feature and trying to charge extra for it, the car itself will now warn the driver it is not be used without human supervision and engagement.
