  1. Long overdue. I’m waiting for a compelling case why technologies that dull the reaction time of human drivers, because they encourage you to check out, are a good thing.

    Heck, they’re sold as “Full Self Driving” or “Autopilot”, with the drug addled CEO leading the charge, with legal disclaimers claiming otherwise. The FTC should have sued them the day they released either.

    1. Judgements should be based on the facts of the case, not your likes or dislikes of the CEO nor the size of the company.

    2. Dominic, I agree but ironically, the only reason Tesla wasn’t hammered on this years ago is Musks popularity which bizarrely makes him above the law

      “Full self driving” is false, but the company and the Musk cucks insistence on pushing a false narrative is literally killing people
