It's okay, instead of running TV commercials, Tesla hires people to brigade negative and humorous commentary, they've been doing it for a long time now, but here's evidence that backs up my claim, they really learned that light trick from people with modified Civics...
All cars kill people. Tesla never claimed that their autopilot wouldn’t kill people. They have claimed it’s much safer than a human driving, and it is.
Your snark is why you got downvoted, not a Tesla conspiracy.
Also some people independently modifying their cars is much different than an official open source tool, but I’m sure you realized the difference.
With that being said, the civic thing is cool. Next time try a constructive comment and I’m sure you’ll have a more positive response.
I'm a free human being that expresses my honest opinions, regardless how many virtual points it creates, I won't ever tailor my comments towards public favorability. Please reconsider your inclination towards recommending that I
or anyone else ever change my/their personal choice of words to favor votes on a web site, it's a destructive attitude towards honest discussions.
No, there has not been an independent audit. I’m not sure How that would improve confidence as the auditors would still just be reviewing data provided by some of the best data scientists in the world, so if they’re going to lie they will regardless.
However, the official Tesla stats show it’s about 3.5x safer to use autopilot vs manually drive a Tesla. It’s about 9x safer to use autopilot than to manually drive an “average” car.
I used the word “independent” on purpose, and I was being a bit disingenuous since I already knew there wasn’t any independent data. I clearly failed to give the hint since you ended up giving a Tesla link.
Please do not put your safety in the hands of the marketing department and their misleading stats, they will be the first to point the finger of blame back at you when something happens.
