Let's grab a random page from a few years ago (before the court cases) http://web.archive.org/web/20180202042014/https://www.tesla.com/autopilot http://web.archive.org/web/20180202042014/https://www.tesla.... "Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Cars All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." Now, I can see how in a court of law you can make various arguments about what that promises, but I can see how someone would interpret that as it can drive better than they do.

But it doesn't matter how "someone" interprets it. It matters how lawyers and judges interpret it. "Someone" can interpret it to mean anything -- most people are idiots. I don't say this pejoratively, that's precisely why we need better consumer protection and advertising laws, but as they currently stand, this isn't likely to result in anything.

  >that's precisely why we need better consumer protection and advertising laws There are plenty of laws. Most products come with more pages of safety warnings than are in the rest of the user's manual. And, in California, you're informed that pretty much every building you enter or product you use causes cancer.

    I did not say plenteous, I said better, i.e. effective.
