      Did you just graduate college? It sure must feel like 2018 was a long time ago when that's more than the entirety of your adult life. I get it. The rest of us aren't that excited to trust our lives to technology that confidently drove into a highway barrier at high speed, killing the driver in a head-on collision mere seven years ago¹. Because we remember that the makers of that tech said the exact same things you're saying now back then. And because we remember that the person killed was an engineer who complained about Tesla steering him towards the same barrier previously, and Tesla has, effectively, ignored the complaints. Tech moves fast. Safety culture doesn't. And the last 1% takes 99% of the time (again, how long ago have you graduated?). I'm glad that you and your friends are volunteering to be lab rats in the just trust me bro, we'll settle the lawsuit if needs be approach to safety. I'm not happy about having to share the road with y'all tho. ______ ¹https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tesla-autopilot-steered-driver-barrier-fatal-crash-ntsb/story?id=68936725 https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tesla-autopilot-steered-driv...
