Selling comfort increasing drug as a cure for a disease is a fraud and one of the most unethical things you can do.
- debrice 6y agoI haven’t faced a situation where comfort drug was sold as a cure. The few experiences I had with the matter, the outcome and justification was clearly stated by the nurse or doctor
- justapassenger 6y agoTesla’s FSD is exactly that case. It’s glorified level 2 system (like a comfort drug, aka, increasing comfort while driving), that’s cleverly advertised as a level 5 system (cure, aka removing driving responsibility from you).
- debrice 6y agoIt seems to me that you’re arguing that advertising is misleading. In that case I totally agree with you and I would add that all advertising I see is misleading. I’ve personally learned to not trust marketing at face value and try to rely on facts as much as possible
- justapassenger 6y agoThere’s no point continuing this “discussion” as you’re only trying to spin the words to fit your agenda and ignore actual arguments.
- debrice 6y agoIf attributing my argumentation to a speculative agenda is your way of leaving the discussion without losing face it’s kinda pathetic. The world we live in is full of improvement toward a illusive ultimate solution. Marketing messages seem to be the problem here but I’ve experienced self driving a few times in heavy traffic (including at night a year ago) and it was really reliable and felt very real to me. Discussing the philosophy of self driving technology using analogies was your attempt of making your point but it will always fall short of discussing the topic at hand. FSD is not full self driving by many standards but it is doing a lot and saving lives too (like collision avoidance). To go with your analogy it is not only comfort but provides real benefit to an existing problem
