Unfortunately, a video currently on Tesla’s website says: “The person in the driver’s seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”
You can’t say things like that and then rely on fine print to save you. You need to be consistent with your messaging as it applies to safety, and Tesla *definitely isn’t*. They mislead intentionally, in this case, in order to gain PR; thus far, it’s been successful, but I’m hopeful that this probe makes some actual progress.
