Continuing to focus on me does nothing to substantiate your position.

> Asinine logic.

Do you want to make an argument, or is your goal just to dunk with these low effort responses and waste my time?

Multiple automakers are making similar marketing claims as Tesla as their level 2 classified technology improves. Tesla is not even remotely alone in any of this. They're just ahead. Meanwhile FTC has done nothing on this front for a decade.

Is a decade not long enough to take action? What's acceptable in your opinion?

> Who is relying?

Everyone that cares about autonomous vehicle safety and thinks Tesla is not doing enough to protect drivers. You'll find plenty of lawyers stating that tort law is the only way to settle ADAS cases right now.

In this particular 2019 crash, the jury found that Tesla had a defect for not disabling autopilot in this area. This is something that NTSB specifically called on the NHTSA to define better in 2017 prior to this fatality. In 2020, after this traffic fatality, the NHTSA responded for the first time saying this would be impractical to impossible to do and doubling down that the driver is responsible, to which the NTSB calls out the NHTSA for not doing enough to prevent these types of fatalities with Tesla.

So we have a situation where Tesla and every other automaker is operating under the ill defined autonomous safety regulations of the NHTSA, a silent FTC, and a safety review board claiming that NHTSA isn't doing enough prior to and after this accident.

Dunk on Tesla all you want, but that's not going do anything to further road safety. I suspect that Tesla will lean heavily on FTC inaction and NHTSA's 2020 response in their appeal. Rightly so given the jury is contradicting NHTSA's own statement on liability for level 2 system. Hence the use tort law.



>Continuing to focus on me does nothing to substantiate your position.

Lol, it's not my position. It's the law. They were held liable. You kept making the focus on yourself, bringing yourself up for no reason, and then even more perplexingly, denying that you did it.

>Multiple automakers are making similar marketing claims as Tesla as their level 2 classified technology improves. Tesla is not even remotely alone in any of this. They're just ahead. Meanwhile FTC has done nothing on this front for a decade.

I haven't seen that and no one seems to be close to what Tesla outright implies with "autopilot".

>Is a decade not long enough to take action? What's acceptable in your opinion?

The fact that regulators should take action is not incongruous with the fact that Tesla is reckless and negligent. Both can be true. No one forced Tesla to do anything so no one else is responsible for their behavior.

>Everyone that cares about autonomous vehicle safety and thinks Tesla is not doing enough to protect drivers. You'll find plenty of lawyers stating that tort law is the only way to settle ADAS cases right now.

Jeez. I guess it's everyone else's fault but Tesla's when it's clear that everyone else thinks Tesla is behaving poorly.

>Dunk on Tesla all you want, but that's not going do anything to further road safety.

Yawn. This comment thread isn't doing anything to "further road safety" how obnoxious of you.
