this is bound to happen we have a precedent with people believing sat nav over their own eyes.

There will always be stupid people, or people who make stupid decisions. It is a problem of driver education and that tendency of people to think well it was ok last time I pushed the boundary so this time I will push it a bit more.

plus some people will watch the advert and not read the Ts & Cs or the manual, leading to issues like this.

Not sure how to mitigate it maybe more driver education or some a new owners courses to make sure they understand the limitations of the new shiny better , and also making sure any frivolous lawsuits are called out as such.

i guess when it is reported that the driver is an idiot that won't capture the headlines in quite the same way.
