| Description of the problem | This is a complaint about a new development in the tesla autopilot experiment. Electrek which is a very influential tesla publicity publication has just released a highly irresponsible article and video. Https://electrek. Co/2019/09/19/tesla-autopilot-v10-commute-without-driver-intervention/ this even shows the tesla fitted with a "nag defeater" on the steering wheel. This is going to cause owners to have even more misplaced confidence in the autopilot and will most certainly cause more deaths. Please stop this dangerous experiment which is recklessly endangering innocent road users. Please note that i have used the vin of a wrecked tesla model 3 so as to be able to file this complaint. I am not a tesla owner but i have to share the public roads with these lethal vehicles. Thank you. Note - dummy usa address used to negotiate your website. Correct name and address supplied with this complaint. |
