Which humans, though? Contenders for automotive Darwin Awards? The average (sub)urban commuter, who wouldn't know how to drive a vehicle without automatic transmission?

Except the plaintiffs' lawyers don't have to penetrate it, they just have to keep hammering on the fact that Tesla's engineers can't explain how it works.
