That is a way of winking to buyers and saying,”pssst...it works but we just can’t legally say it works yet.”

- JimDabell 8y agoI disagree, and I think holding Tesla accountable for something they haven't said is ridiculous.
- cimmanom 8y agoHow about holding them accountable for something they’ve strongly suggested?
- JimDabell 8y agoBut they aren't doing that. They are explicitly telling people it's not ready yet. If you interpret that to mean that it is ready, you're the only one to blame for that.
- close04 8y agoI take it you’d be ok if someone called you a pedophile on the front page of a major newspaper without offering any evidence and then putting a tiny footnote on the last page saying they might be talking about a different Jim or that maybe it’s not kids but definitely consenting adults. I picked a shocking example because you seem to be completely unwilling to understand the point multiple people struggle to drive home, no matter how clear those methods are ;).
- JimDabell 8y agoBetween this and your other comment, it seems you're not interested in discussing this rationally, you just want a fight. Not interested.
- temac 8y agoTons of people have already interpreted that it is ready, and some of them have died. Maybe they are to blame. But for practical reason, I don't care much. I interpret Tesla's communication as highly misleading, for the very simple reasons that it could be written in a waaaaay less misleading way, and also because there is absolutely no consensus in the field that their "hardware" will actually be capable one day to fully self drive. Plus asking the users to distinguish between hardware and (vapor) software is disingenuous and misleading.
- nikofeyn 8y agothis is why regulation exists. it isn't enough to just say "well, we warned you". and tesla has become more stringent in their marketing and careful with warnings of auto-pilot in the wake of all these accidents. they clearly used the named feature to generate hype and sell more cars.
