Comment on Lawsuits test Tesla claim that drivers are solely responsible for crashes

  For the Tesla it’s very easy to use correctly.

  Not supported by the evidence, but sure, keep relying on your feelings and telling other people it’s their problem. Projection.

    It’s clearly supported by the evidence. It’s cruise control. How complicated do you think cruise control is? You put your hands on the wheel and it maintains speed.

  Nothing can stop people from being idiots. Most of the accidents are people being idiots.

  This is the stupidity I hate most about Tesla shills.

  Great engineers make genius innovations all the time to keep idiots from harming themselves or others. Those innovations saturate or society and industries at all levels. Good evening should be trying to do it more.

  Tesla just doesn’t care, or is even complicit in giving the idiots just enough freedom so people can think Tesla is ahead of the competition. The only difference from Tesla is that other car manufacturers don’t give idiots that freedom.

    This is why I hate most about people obsessed with Elon. They can’t have discussions. It’s all weird illogical wants over Elon.

    No. When cruise control first came out. It’d drive you right into another car. Auto pilot is just a fancy cruise control.

    You can take a normal car and drive it into a wall. Tesla is no different. Using your logic a normal car shouldn’t be able to do that.

      When did I refer to Musk? You must be sensitive.

      Yes, when cruise control came out over 100 years ago, there were very little controls. Responsible car makers have changes that. Summer even recently aimed for zero fatalities for people using their cars and the associated technologies.

      And there are many cars that keep you from driving into a wall. Maybe, at this point, you can’t keep 100 percent of the idiots from doing something stupid, but responsible car makers do much, much better than Tesla, who actually promotes and markets the actions of idiots abusing the systems in their cars.

        No they haven’t. I have take by brand new Audi and drive it straight into a well.

        They assist people in driving. You are still driving the car.

        Incorrect. Auto pilot is less likely to be in an accident.

        The responsible car makers showing drivers performing stunts well beyond the ability or legality of most drivers?

        You’ve got some kind of chip on your shoulder man. It’s a car company, who cares.
