One concern is also whether this is fair criticism or talking shit about a dead person. Any changes that came after the crash are completely irrelevant to that

  They're relevant because much of this could have been easily foreseen. Some of these safety warnings have been on others cars since the features were first deployed in other brands. Tesla didn't include them and marketed it as 'autopilot' in a way that really seems kind of reckless to me.

  > talking shit about a dead person Being dead does not automatically command more respect. If someone's fuck-up caused them to die, there's nothing wrong with criticizing them for their fuck-up.

    Did I say it is? I said that one concern is "whether this is fair criticism or talking shit". And for that question the state of the autopilot then is relevant, not any improvements afterwards. Speaking of autopilots I'm really curious what thought processes, if any at all, lead to such downvotes and responses. It doesn't get more simple than basic chronology, after all.

      > Did I say it is? I said that one concern is "whether this is fair criticism or talking shit" You said "whether this is fair criticism or talking shit about a dead person", which can easily be interpreted as saying you think people that are dead deserve an extra level of respect simply for being dead. Obviously your message has been misinterpreted by multiple people.
