> "They should be writing a story about how autonomous cars are really safe," Musk said in his Wednesday earnings call. "But that's not a story that people want to click on. They write inflammatory headlines that are fundamentally misleading to readers. It's really outrageous." I'm so very tired of the attack-the-messenger (i.e., attack-the-media) strategy. Musk provides no support for his claim that autopilots are safer, but he does try to change the subject from autopilots to the reporters. What a cheap strategy, even if trendy, for such a smart person. IME, usually the reporters turn out to have raised important questions, and perhaps the more the subjects of the report complain, the closer to home the news report has struck. (I'm excepting editorials, columns, blogs, etc. - I mean real journalism in serious publications.)
