Ive always tightened up a little when I heard their driver assist features described as Autopilot and Full Self Driving. To me the implications of what those words mean carry more gravitas than what I think Tesla is attaching to them. My gut reaction is that we will see more along the lines of people watching movies/drunk autopiloting/edge case accidents that cause federal investigations/class action lawsuits/other things that would really put a dent in Tesla as a company and possibly stop them from accomplishing what I see as an amazing task.(start a new car company this day in age, seriously advance driver assist despite calling it more than it really is) That said, Jalopnik has always been a sorta tabloid car mag that now seems to be largely staffed by people who resent cars to some degree. I will make an exception for the author of this article as Jason Torchinsky has always been a pretty good writer and is one of the few left at the site worth reading. Hes always been quick to pile on the negativity towards Tesla even when he says he is defending them or otherwise praising their products. I dont really have a problem with that, per se, but he has a clear anti Tesla bias where other manufacturers can seem to get more of a pass from him. My personal opinion of Tesla is a mixed bag, specifically because they seem to have a branding/marketing problem despite my appreciation for them legitimately being the company that is trying to push car engineering forward and past ICE. I totally respect that.
