I definitely think that systems like auto pilot will be better than human drivers, but that being said, I don't believe he has enough data to make the case for it being better TODAY.

Musk has a habit of going off half cocked, and I think this is one of those cases. Auto pilot is great, but you cannot say much difinitively about it because it hasn't got enough miles or road conditions under its belt.

That all being said, I myself have invested in this type of technology (Subaru's Eyesight) but auto pilot claims to be able to do much more than the more stabilised technology found on mass market vehicles.
