I am proud of my bias against fascists and trillionaires.
Tesla’s fatality statistics don’t share my bias and speak for themselves.
At some point “it’s the driver’s fault” turns into “bad vehicle design” when enough scale is applied. Tesla is not some kind of low-volume niche automaker.
If I write software where the “Save” button is small and grey and the “discard changes” button is bold and blue, it’s not the user’s fault when many of my users lose their data. I was responsible for bad design.
It was Tesla’s choice to remove physical controls, make their screen as distracting as possible, make their cars accelerate faster than they need to despite competing in mainstream vehicle segments, deliver FSD with misleading promises in beta state, remove manual door releases from the vehicle trapping people inside, etc.
