or even monitoring what's going on. Tesla states the driver is to pay attention to the driving at all times, even when auto pilot is engaged. I think the drivers are doing something else, reading the paper, watching a movie on their phone who knows what, but sure not monitoring the auto drive operation. I don't know what the investigation will show, but I don't blame Tesla. I blame driver inattention!
