Jury finds that Tesla lied about Autopilot features, leading to pedestrian's death.

There’s also a YouTube video if you’d rather watch ads than use Nebula.

    It’s an interesting case. During the initial summary I was with Tesla. That particular crash is very clearly the driver’s fault.

    There’s a lot of talk about “the average consumer”, but I think Tesla is in the clear there, mostly. The average consumer isn’t that fucking dumb.

    However, Tesla also has the knowledge that a segment of their customer base is fanatical, and the average fanatical consumer will misunderstand and misuse the technology. Tesla encourages this fanaticism, has all the data to combat it, and has been negligent in allowing it to endanger lives.

    Tesla also brags about having the data, yet refuses to use it to make their technology safer. They knew this guy was a danger to himself and others, and they were negligent in allowing that behavior to continue.

    They didn’t make the guy put his foot on the gas, but they knew he would someday.

      Nebula is $36/year. Youtube is $13/month.

      This shit can be done at like a quarter of the big tech rate. They’re just gouging because they know what you will pay.

        I pay for it because of his channel, but I get it. It’s annoying because it’s yet another site asking for money and you have to sign up before being able to watch anything. If I hadn’t been watching him on YT before I would never have signed up.
