What’s immoral is that they allow people to turn this thing on and then play Candy Crush on their phone while the car does the driving, fully aware that this might lead to fatal accidents in some cases. Their marketing is misleading because they suggest that the system is safe and they don’t inform customers about the freak accidents that can happen when the system glitches (bad for sales). That’s not very ethical if you ask me.
You and I probably agree that this might be wishful thinking to expect some portion of the driving public to do so faithfully.
Perhaps additional technology can help better guarantee attention and participation on the part of the driver.
Then Tesla should be given it away, not charging extra for it. To do otherwise would be immoral.
Autopilot is standard in every single car Tesla sells now, for exactly this reason.
Here is the blog post on their website where they talk about making it standard: https://www.tesla.com/blog/update-our-vehicle-lineup
> I assumed you meant that they should include safety features for no extra cost, which they do
I could buy a car without it for 37500 and now I can't but I can now buy a car with it for 39500 and you would still consider this is no extra cost?
I must be misunderstanding what you are saying
There arguably is a moral problem selling a product with optional safety features that cost extra.
If tesla invented immortality fields within their vehicles, I have no doubt they would jack up the price, and that would be fine, because it’s now a much better car. To think otherwise would be silly.
