Tesla "full self driving" discussion
#226
There may be truth to that, I would be interested in knowing though if there are more accidents in Tesla vehicles with this tech than in other carmakers' vehicles with this tech. No way to know that unless you focus the investigation on the tech and not specifically on Tesla.

Well well, finally...
“Tesla’s marketing has repeatedly overstated the capabilities of its vehicles, and these statements increasingly pose a threat to motorists and other users of the road,” the senators wrote in a letter published Wednesday. “Accordingly, we urge you to open an investigation into potentially deceptive and unfair practices in Tesla’s advertising and marketing of its driving automation systems and take appropriate enforcement action to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road.”

Senators ask FTC to investigate Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ promises
... The Senators are particularly concerned with how Tesla has been charging customers thousands of dollars for what it refers to as “Full Self-Driving capability,” despite the fact that buying that package does not make the company’s cars fully autonomous.“Tesla’s marketing has repeatedly overstated the capabilities of its vehicles, and these statements increasingly pose a threat to motorists and other users of the road,” the senators wrote in a letter published Wednesday. “Accordingly, we urge you to open an investigation into potentially deceptive and unfair practices in Tesla’s advertising and marketing of its driving automation systems and take appropriate enforcement action to ensure the safety of all drivers on the road.”

And this... Brutal
and
much more here https://www.vice.com/en/article/3aqe...topilot-claims
After years of looking the other way, regulators might finally be getting around to caring about Tesla's deceptive self-driving claims.
Thanks to years of the company's misleading marketing of the "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" packages—as well as the frequent wild claims by the extremely online CEO Elon Musk such as the prediction in 2019 that there would be one million Tesla robotaxis by 2020—owners perceive it to be far more capable than it is.

And just when you think it couldn't get anymore hilarious, check this article out - Elon revels a Tesla Bot, but couldn't present a functioning model so they dressed a human into Tesla Bot suit instead.

The short term thinkers don't get it, same people that said Tesla would die, be bought out, never sell, never sell in volume, never make a profit. The pattern continues, maybe some are simply incapable of learning? A.I. day was awesome especially how Tesla is tackling FSD this is amazing stuff. The super computer cluster they designed is on another level, and Tesla is making their own purpose built processors for the cluster.
This guy gets it.
This guy gets it.

Toyota has a robot that is programmed to shoot basketballs...lets not pretend they have an AI robot and have had it for years that does autonomous tasks. They don't.

Lets not imply that Musk was pretending the person dancing in the robot suit was real lol. It was clearly meant to be funny, and immediately after it left the stage Musk laughed and said, "obviously thats not real".

I find it hilarious that Elon's fear of AI also drove the spec of the robot...its slow and kinda weak and he mentioned specifically that it was built so that humans could over power it...lol. He really thinks Skynet will happen.
