   @kaia gracias, and I shouldn't be obtuse. The "recall" is a software update OTA. The "problem" is people using devices explicitly meant to circumvent Tesla safety mechanisms while using autonomous driving (fake hands that grab the steering wheel). Relative safety numbers between human driving and automatic driving are pretty much never talked about, even though that would be the statistic to know.

     I never use autopilot, only the speed sensitive cruise control, but there are warnings and alerts at every step of the way to enable it and use it. If the steering wheel input conflicts too much with what the cameras/sensors are telling the autopilot, then an alert sounds and the dash flashes a warning that autopilot/cruise control is disabled until you stop the vehicle and park. When I bought some new fitted floor mats for mine, I saw the little steering wheel weights that are supposed to simulate a hand resting on the wheel in the "people also bought" section of Amazon.
