If I were Tesla why would I take responsibility for something no one is forcing me to take responsibility for? Lawmakers are responsible for this charade and it

If I were Tesla why would I take responsibility for something no one is forcing me to take responsibility for? Lawmakers are responsible for this charade and its embarrassing to me that a company can be so misleading with marketing and get away with it.

Because it means the feature is actually useful. If the human "driver" is liable for what an autonomous car does, it means you have to watch the car like a hawk. At that point, may as well be driving.

Both state and capital can be bad at the same time y’know

I wouldn't do any business with you for example if that is your default level of ethics.

  It's not about me. This is exactly what Tesla is doing and for some reason no one seems to care and continues to hand Tesla money for subpar quality cars with fake FSD. I don't get it.

  You say that, but it’s how most companies operate unfortunately.

    > You say that, but it’s how most companies operate unfortunately. Thank goodness you are incorrect. Most people in business, like most people generally, are ethical human beings. Good to deal with, trust worthy and reliable. That is my experience. The sharks that rise to the top of billion dollar companies I only see in the news. My impression is that they are generally mentally disturbed (Elon Musk's "jokes" on Twitter about taking Tesla private is a case in point). But I hope that is a selection bias from the news cycle. Still waiting for the evidence....

      Maybe "most companies" was the wrong choice of wording. How about "most large companies that actually influence the world?" >Most people in business, like most people generally, are ethical human beings. Good to deal with, trust worthy and reliable. It doesn't matter if the people you've anecdotally dealt with are ethical. It doesn't even matter if most of the people "in business" are ethical. The incentive structure to make the right choice for large public companies, or even venture-backed private ones just isn't there. I wish I was incorrect, but I'm not. If I was, we wouldn't still have companies producing fossil fuels, animal agriculture, or surveillance capitalism.

  OK then don't! That's the magic of the market! People have different values.
