Tesla to provide more info on its driver alert system amid Autopilot probe
TechCrunchMAY 2023
Tesla can't deny the reality that there have been dozens of accidents — many deadly — involving its Autopilot feature. From the name of the technology to the company's manipulative marketing practices, it's no wonder many drivers overestimate it. Tesla must accept some responsibility for these fatal outcomes.
Tesla's cars aren't self-driving, and their Autopilot feature doesn't make them fully autonomous, so drivers must always be ready to take complete control. While anyone can blame Elon Musk for false and misleading assurances, the responsibility for such accidents rests on the person behind the wheel.
