Promotional material is not instructional material, and should not be treated as such.
The "you're being unfair to Tesla because you aren't complaining about other automakers" meme has to die, because Tesla often does what no other automaker dares. This leads to their biggest triumphs (and there are many), and their worst mistakes. I guess that's what happens when you optimize for decisions per unit of time, right?
I too am tired of people misdirecting conversations. Maybe it's our attention deficit culture, or maybe it's whataboutism spread by masters of the game such as China.
Why does everything need to be on the same level? I can criticize Tesla for one thing, and another company for another.
Every other other Level 2 system advertisement I could find shows the driver with their hands off the wheel, at least to some extent;
[1] - Nissan - https://youtu.be/HkL67DgleQY
[2] - Ford - https://youtu.be/Z_9218dTXXY
[3] - Audi - https://youtu.be/nUlK6fpveXg
[4] - BMW - https://youtu.be/xsQvq4WlUYU
Tesla can't market its system in a way that indicates hands free use is ok, then turn around then blame the driver when they crash driving like that. Like Elon!
Other car companies need to be held to the exact same standard.
Audi says you can take your hands off in traffic jam assist in its ad, the car monitors alertness and tells you when to take over.
If a customer takes their hands off as directed and the car accelerates suddenly in to the car in front of them, Audi is at fault. If they then turn around and say the customer isn't reading the fine print, then they've crossed the line in to being a bad actor just like Tesla.
