Default Robots on the Dragon

This just blows my mind. It's bad enough that we have to push Harleys and Locals on this road but now we have to push Robots for 11 miles

The software should automatically stop in a pull off if anyone is too close behind them. I just have to ask "why", what is the point of taking something fun and ruining it?

Which? The "beta" Tesla or the Dragon?

One of these is not like the other...wonderful, following a 20 mph car on a 35 mph (that used to be 55 mph) road.

As much as I hate being stuck behind slow cars on a mountain road, I've seen much worse driving recorded on the Dragon and I've seen much more dangerous acts resulting in bodily harm there as well.

I am curious to know what the Tesla does when it comes around a curve and there is a semi straddling the road?
