Again, Theranos-level fraud. So much of the runup of Tesla's stock price (and Elon's personal wealth) was built on the widespread assumption that they had a lead in self-driving technology, based on fraudulent evidence like this staged demo. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-19/elon-musk-directed-tesla-autopilot-video-saying-car-drove-itself-tsla?srnd=premium

@mtsw A fraud that has already cost human lives, in fact.

The fact that #Tesla and #Musk has recently been engaged in a "Safety is Priority Number 1 at Tesla" gaslighting campaign is just the icing on this cake.

If they cared about safety they would make vehicles that have actual means to control them instead of a coffin with an ipad mounted outside of the driver's sightline. I have to look down and to the right to tell if it's safe to turn left in a Model Y. Pure idiocy.

@RnDanger @mtsw Yup!

In fact, coincidentally, Tesla's Head of #Autopilot Software (Ashok Elluswamy) just admitted under oath that they are ignorant of the mere existence of #HumanFactors issues in these systems.

Attached: 2 images The last bit establishes that #Tesla is not maintaining a systems safety lifecycle internally that appropriately incorporates #HumanFactors issues into any would-be validation process. Unsurprisingly, Elluswamy admits to that in this deposition...
