Consumer Description
THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VIN OF A RANDOM TESLA MODEL S HAS BEEN USED TO ENABLE ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. HERE IS A FRESHLY UPLOADED YOUTUBE VIDEO OF SOME KIDS FOOLING AROUND WITH AUTOPILOT AND PUTTING MANY LIVES AT RISK. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GXGLMMMFKUA DESPITE SEVERAL FATALITIES AND THE SCATHING NTSB REPORT PEOPLE ARE STILL DOING DANGEROUS THINGS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE MISCONCEPTION THAT AUTOPILOT IS SELF DRIVING AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO RELY ON IT. THIS PUBLIC MISCONCEPTION WAS DELIBERATELY ENGINEERED BY ELON MUSK. AUTOPILOT SHOULD BE GEOFENCED SO THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE IT ON UNDIVIDED ROADS. DRIVER MONITORING SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THE KIND OF STUPIDITY SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDO THE WIDELY HELD BELIEF THAT AUTOPILOT IS PERFECTLY SAFE AND INDEED SAFER THAN A HUMAN DRIVER THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DISABLE TESLA AUTOPILOT IMMEDIATELY VIA AN OVER THE AIR UPDATE. THE WRECKERS YARDS ARE FILLED WITH ASTONISHING NUMBERS OF CRASHED TESLAS. HTTPS://POCTRA.COM/TESLA-FOR-SALE IT IS A CERTAINTY THAT MANY OF THESE TESLA CRASHES WERE CAUSED BY DRIVER DISTRACTION I.E. TOUCHSCREEN AND/OR AUTOPILOT. I PETITION NHTSA TO DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE RECALL OR DISABLING OF THIS DANGEROUSLY MISNAMED AUTOPILOT. THANK YOU. KEEF
