Except they don't claim that.... 🤣 Waste of tax dollars investigating a product that actually saves lives. Go to Idiots in cars subreddit. Autopilot doesn't do any of that. Humans do

It's a name, given to the software, not what the product actually does. I guess they could rename it, but no where do they say it actually does it. I own one and bought it. No where does it say it does it. Let's see where the DOJ goes with this.

False advertising then. Reading you loud and clear.

Bro you’re getting into a nuanced argument with a guy whose name is DragoBTC. AssPennies is still a much better name - cuz everyone loves Ass but you have to be a special kind of moron to still love bitcoin

But he can't change his name. There are people who transitioned their gender years ago. Still using the same username that references their old gender because thry can't change it and have too much karma on their main account, to lose it. As once you get over 100K comment or post. Reddit gets a bit more interesting.

You know in lots of places those products you describe are illegal.

”Burrito” is just a name I give to my product even though it’s actually a bagel lmao

The article clearly proves you are wrong - Tesla itself claims that the driver is there only for “legal reasons”.

If I produced a “high protein, calorie dense recipe” energy bar would that be reasonably interpreted as a description or simply the name of the recipe.

There are a few examples in the story where Tesla/Musk are saying it’s self driving, including this one:

A video currently on the company’s website says: “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”

The issue isn’t that the functionality caused some crashes, the issue is that it’s being sold as something that it’s not.

EDIT: here the video on Tesla’s website showing the driver “only being in the drivers seat for legal reasons”:

That's not inaccurate... it IS. Does it say, "It can always drive itself always under any and all conditions"?

You missed the first two sentences. You know where it says the driver is ONLY there for legal reasons and is doing nothing.

Except they clearly do, other than in the legal fine print at the bottom.

Can you show me where they do? They don't even advertise. Literally do not give money to any media outlet. GM, Ford, Oil companies, politicians, etc do. Show me where they actually do. I'll wait.

Why are you defending them so much? Are you an employee at Tesla or something? These cars aren't saving lives

I own one because it's the safest car made. Statistics don't lie. Guess you never have known anyone to die in a car accident or been in one.

It's the safest car according to Tesla.

It's the safest car in the world according to government agencies actually.

No I haven't because modern cars are safe. You just proved my point.

How safe is it when you are in the middle of the highway with no charging station in miles? You'll be fucked. And good luck pushing that thing
