Consumer Description

THIS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. THIS VIDEO HAS JUST BEEN UPLOADED. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=VCC7JH8UX-E HERE IS AN OWNER DRIVING HANDS FREE AT HIGH SPEED WHILE WAVING HIS ARMS AROUND AND EVEN CROSSING HIS ARMS ACROSS HIS CHEST. THE IRRESPONSIBLE MARKETING AND PROMOTION OF THE TESLA AUTOPILOT HAS ENCOURAGED THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR. WHILST AN INQUIRY INTO THE AUTOPILOT IS STILL IN PROGRESS TESLA IS PLANNING TO ROLL OUT YET ANOTHER VERSION BETA RELEASE. I BELIEVE THAT IS ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SHIFT THE GOAL-POSTS AND SIDESTEP THE INQUIRY. THE PRUDENT THING WOULD BE TO DISABLE THE AUTOPILOT UNTIL IT IS PROVEN TO BE SAFE.
