#2Really sad to see Autopilot is a joke and nothing more than adaptive cruise control found in common cars, despite Musk claming it was a year ago [1]
Any one who owns Autopilot knows the warning at :20 is NOT a crash warning at all and is just the usual warning every minute to jiggle the wheel if you don't hold the wheel firmly enough when it can't detect you holding it.

#4Tesla this month pushed out an update which makes autopilot disengage a lot less than it used to. People have been making videos all month showing much improved performance [1], but this overconfident behavior may be a side effect of the same change.

Does it matter? Do cars act differently depending on which state they are in? Seems like a similar situation to the crash in California.

Even better for the validity of the reproduction of the bug.

#7This (video) is another instance where the lanes split apart but the part in the middle has absolutely no markings to indicate that you shouldn't drive there.
This (photograph) is what it should look like: http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/24/67/2246762_3a6ea81...
Is this (bad line painting) common in the US?
Edit: on a second viewing, I think it actually does have some chevrons, but they're very faint.

#8Fun fact - given the current implementation of Autopilot, it is insane to expect an autonomous vehicle. There should be some kind of common sense/intelligence test for would-be users of Autopilot. So far, every incident involving Autopilot that I have heard about or looked at can be summarised with "Driver was being a dumbass"

It does matter when the article title claims that it's a reproduction of the accident. If it's not the same location, it's not really a reproduction, even if the cause/effect is the same.

There is a solid white line. It's forbidden to cross a solid while line on the freeway.
What does a solid white line mean to you (in your country)?
The linked video is a different story, but the image you linked makes it quite clear not to drive there.
