The issue is that this is not about reading the small print: this is about the point that if you walk into the street, hit up a stranger and ask if the phrase 'full self driving' suggests to them that they need to keep hands on the wheel, pay attention or anything like that.
There are 1000s of videos on the web where people are doing things in Teslas, including having sex, while driving and that gives me the distinct impression that the public did not read the small print and believes the marketing phrasing.
It is false advertising and I find it weird that it is allowed. People will believe it and not spend time sweating the nuances like you or I would.
- voakbasda 5y agoI believe most people have read the fine print. They just don’t believe or understand the limitations, in the light of the amazing things it can already do. They understand the potential consequences, but they naively believe that anything bad will happen to someone else. By way of example, the causes to most industrial accidents are well known in advance, and workers are trained to avoid them by using proper procedures or safety equipment. Yet these same accidents still occur with regularity. Why? Because some people will be too lazy/ignorant/stupid to follow directions. You can’t make anything foolproof, because the universe will simply evolve a bigger fool. Don’t blame the car. Blame the idiots behind the wheel that do the stupid things. They are the problem here.
