Based on other comments I’ve seen from others, Tesla’s can basically drive from Calgary to Edmonton, with no intervention, perfectly safely.
I have a hard time calling this dangerous, because in reality, it wasn’t particularly dangerous. Not saying that the driver didn’t commit an offence - on top of the speeding. There’s certainly some carelessness there. Stunting maybe.
But again, the laws need to ready to adapt for the time in the somewhat near future where cars will be 100% safe to drive autonomously in all situations.

‘Some’ carelessness? Tesla themselves say the driver must be attentive and ready to take control, let alone Alberta law. There is no ‘some’ about it.
And do we really believe that self driving personal vehicles will ever be allowed to be cruise around with a vacant driver? A personal vehicle is wholly dependent on the owner, and I think it’s incredibly stupid to believe that as autonomous vehicles become more and more common, and more and more aged, that the operator is someone entirely off the hook.
#### fails. When half the vehicles on the road are autonomous and beyond a few years old, we better not be accepting that everyone has their vehicle in perfect order.
