Promoting this Luddite anti-self-driving fearmongering campaign will directly lead to more deaths.
I don't have teeth on either party, but I want to see independent results instead of self-reported results. It seems that Tesla isn't that willing to allow independent analysis though.
- zugi 4y agoInsurance companies and NHTSA have nationwide accident statistics available - see https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings for Tesla safety ratings - but those don't support the Luddite narrative so they engineer videos and fear-monger over individual cases. It's immoral to ban self-driving technology that's saving lives.
