Boeing has far safer software, I don't see why Tesla should get a pass. I am a customer not stunt double.

  You come up with Boeing as counterexample of software safety, really.

    I think they're trolling.

    No, I used it as an example of bad safety. But it is still better. Both autopilots get sometimes confused and drive into solid wall. Boeing did recall, fix the problem and is now trying to restore trust. Tesla just does whoopsie, we are startup, need to fix bugs. Or blames customer: "please do not use our $20k autopilot as an autopilot" If Tesla takes safety seriously, it should at least rename its software.

      Tesla has thousands of employees, sells thousands of cars and sometimes even makes money. I can't believe they still get away with "Sorry, we messed up, but we're a startup after all"

      If we did not already know what the phrase "cruise control" meant, would that phrase also be just as deceptive as autopilot?

      >"please do not use our $20k autopilot as an autopilot" I don't know where you buy your autopilot, but even with the recent price increase, autopilot is just $7k.

    It's sarcasm. If Boeing's "High Quality" software kills people and they get dragged before congress, why isn't Tesla getting the same treatment when their software has also killed?

      Because comparisons without baselines are silly. Boeing's 737 Max is compared to the industry average, which is amazingly good. Tesla is compared to the industry average that is so bad that it kills a 737 load of passengers every hour. Tesla is better than average in that industry. It is fair to debate why and whether or not Tesla could be even more above average, but that is the baseline.
