Agree this is a weird and very concerning bug.

This driver seems to be someone who I would be ok with testing this. He's got his hand an inch from the steering wheel and obviously paying attention. I would rather this scenario happen, than Tesla be restricted to no public road access and they just unleash an untested system.
