Diesel pickups are for chumps

[Jer]

So what you're saying Jer is that it's impossible for this guy to pass out with one hand on the wheel?

Is it impossible? No. Is it next to impossible to pass out with his hand on the wheel in a manner that was causing the car to sense JUST the right amount of resistance to prevent the system from shutting off while not putting TOO much resistance against the wheel to cause it to shut off? You do the math.

Keep in mind, there is no sensor within the steering wheel that senses pressure. The car actually senses resistance against it automatically manipulating the wheel. There is a VERY thin line between sensing resistance to keep Autopilot enabled and too much resistance which would be like tapping the brake on a car with standard cruise control. If you "take over" at any point it disables Auto Steer which is one of the components of Autopilot.

If you've ever driven one of these and experienced how Autopilot works you'd know that this story is pure BS. Much like negative firearms stories, a lot of these "articles" are written from a place of pure ignorance to how any of it actually works and instead on what they saw in movies/TV or heard from a guy who knows a guy.
