Well Autopilot and stuff was sold exactly the way how weight loss industry works. Clients wanted to believe wink wink promises from charming self made billionaire CEO. I bet legal imprint in small letters at the time described the deal exact enough to be suspicious. Exact the same advertisement I get from companies who repair old concrete foundations. There are 2 pages in small font describing when repair may fail and the company is not responsible. So it’s clear to me, that it’s not a good deal. Probably the same as adding full self driving package to a car without ultrasonic sensors with a claim, that it can park itself.

That is more than twice the number in any other category. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/business/us-charges-4-companies-with-deception-in-weight-loss-products.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/08/business/us-charges-4-com...
