No where in writing do they say you are not responsible to react to all emergencies or intervene when needed. Cadillac was very clear on this and that is what is needed as these systems are not at the level needed to react and respond to every situation out there.
It is sad when you know what most of the algorithms are built into these systems that Tesla calls it "Auto-pilot" and they are not very clear that the cars cannot safely drive for you. They can simply assist with acceleration, de-acceleration, and steering in most situations. The big key is ASSIST. They sure did not claim anything beyond that to be rated a level 2 of autonomy. Now explain that to Customer BEFORE they buy Tesla PLEASE!

I dunno, all my friends with Teslas got a pretty good explanation of how everything works when they picked up the car.
