Meh. I mean, I understand the emotional content of that argument, and the propriety angle is real enough. I really do get what you're saying. And if your prior is "Tesla is bad", that's going to be really convincing. But if it's not...
The bottom line is that they're getting close to 3M of these vehicles on the roads now. You can't spit without hitting one in the south bay. And the accident statistics just aren't there. They're not. There's a small handful of verifiable accidents, all on significantly older versions of the software. Bugs are real. They've happened before and they'll no doubt happen again, just like they do with every other product.
But the Simple Truth remains that these are very safe cars. They are. So... what exactly are people getting upset about? Because it doesn't seem to be what people claim they're getting upset about.
