Tesla begins letting drivers request its “Full Self-Driving” beta, prompting criticism from regulators and safety advocates
a seeming recipe for disaster. Serious safety concerns should put this reckless plan in reverse. It's Russian Roulette for unsuspecting drivers & the public. https://twitter.com/... Mike Masnick / @mmasnick : And here I was told over and over again that Elon Musk believed in freedom. https://twitter.com/... Peter Flax / @pflax1 : I don't want Tesla to fail; I want Tesla not to kill people. https://twitter.com/... @nacto : .@Tesla is using people walking on streets as subjects in an experiment that you can't opt-out of. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... @mateosfo : If the United States had any traffic safety enforcement at all, Elon Musk would be arrested and tried for reckless endangerment, fraud, and criminal liability for any deaths and injuries that result from this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Lauren Kaori Gurley / @laurenkgurley : Great piece by @A_W_Gordon about how Tesla's self-driving beta-testers shield it from criticism An NDA given to these testers says “Do remember that there are a lot of people that want Tesla to fail; Don't let them mischaracterize your feedback” https://www.vice.com/... @nicoleconlan : It's wild that Tesla keeps trying to sell us on all the car's dumbest features and not the simple fact that it has the fastest charging and longest range of any EV on the market. I don't know anyone who considered buying a Tesla for the fucking autopilot https://twitter.com/... @java_jigga : It's straight up wild that this is just being tested on public streets, american road safety is so lionized (despite being mid overall) that something that potentially makes auto manufacturers look bad is normally heavily covered up https://twitter.com/... Luis Carruthers / @orthereaboot : if you believe $TSLA shouldn't beta test dangerous software on public roads, you apparently want tesla to fail. If you are concerned about selling a product as “Full Self-Driving” that requires constant attention but is shown statistically to limit it, you are “biased”. https://twitter.com/... @anildash : trolley problem, but EULA requires denying there is a trolley https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/... Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai / @lorenzofb : Given that these testers drive Teslas in public roads, it's great that some are sharing videos they may not be supposed to share. But you gotta wonder what others, who abide by the terms of the agreement, are experiencing. https://www.vice.com/... Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai / @lorenzofb : Tesla makes testers of its so-called Full-Self Driving system sign NDA that prohibits them from speaking to and giving rides to press. NDA also asks to “consider sharing fewer videos.” Recently many have posted clips of Teslas doing dangerous maneuvers. https://www.vice.com/...
SCOOP: Tesla makes its self-driving beta testers sign an NDA acknowledging there are “a lot of people that want Tesla to fail” and instructing them to be careful about posting footage to social media that could make the tech and the company look bad https://www.vice.com/...
imagine paying 200 dollars a month for the privilege of being a “beta tester” and then legally not being able to say it was a waste of money, or that the thing you bought actively tried to run over a human being, and still thinking “yeah this is a pretty good deal” https://twitte…
Tesla is putting untrained drivers on public roads as testers for their misleadingly-named, unproven system—a seeming recipe for disaster. Serious safety concerns should put this reckless plan in reverse. It's Russian Roulette for unsuspecting drivers & the public. https://twitte…
