Consumer Description

AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS DEVELOPMENT IN THE AUTOPILOT EXPERIMENT. THIS MAN HAS COLLECTED A RENTAL TESLA TO PERFORM HIS PRANKS. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=RMVOALPQHJC JUST AS SOON AS HE DRIVES AWAY FROM THE HIRE DEPOT AND ON AN UNDIVIDED BUSY ROAD HE ENGAGES AUTOPILOT AND GOES HANDS FREE WHILST TALIKING TO THE CAMERA. EVERY CUSTOMER THAT RENTS ONE OF THESE CARS IS LIKELY TO DO THE SAME THING. THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO COMPLETE YOUR INVESTIGATION OF AUTOPILOT. HAVE THIS SYSTEM DISABLED RIGHT NOW UNTIL IT CAN BE PROVEN TO BE SAFE.
