NHTSA Complaint #10905534 — 2016 TESLA MODEL S

HERE IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. HERE IS A RECENTLY UPLOADED VIDEO OF A TESLA EMPLOYEE GIVING A CUSTOMER A TEST DRIVE AND DEMONSTRATION OF AUTOPILOT. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TBCX2O-OTSO THE DEMONSTRATOR IS ONLY PLAYING LIP-SERVICE TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT DRIVERS SHOULD KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL. HE ASSURES THE DRIVER THAT THE AUTOPILOT IS PERFECTLY SAFE AND ALLOWS HIM TO TAKE HIS HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AND DRIVE WHILE DISTRACTED. HE EVEN REACHES OVER AND PUTS HIS HANDS THROUGH THE SPOKES OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO PERFORM AN AUTOMATIC LANE CHANGE WITHOUT EVEN GLANCING IN THE MIRROR. IF THIS IS THE KIND OF INSTRUCTION BEING GIVEN TO NEW OWNERS THEN THE SITUATION WILL ONLY GET WORSE WHEN THE NEW OWNER BECOMES OVERCONFIDENT IN THE SYSTEM AND PERHAPS INSTRUCTS HIS PARTNER OR OTHER PEOPLE TO HAVE A GO AT LETTING AUTOPILOT TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST THAT THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED BUT THAT THE WAY IT IS BEING PITCHED TO CUSTOMERS IS RECKLESS IN THE EXTREME. PLEASE STOP THIS EXPERIMENT IMMEDIATELY.
