Here’s the buried bombshell lede in the latest safety news about childish milquetoast fiddling that Tesla still tries to pass off as engineering.
Phil Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies automated driving safety, said the letter shows that the recall did little to solve problems with Autopilot and was an attempt to pacify NHTSA, which demanded the recall after more than two years of investigation.
“It’s pretty clear to everyone watching that Tesla tried to do the least possible remedy to see what they could get away with,” Koopman said. “And NHTSA has to respond forcefully or other car companies will start pushing out inadequate remedies.”
Tesla not only is below the baseline of basic safety, it is clearly attempting to ruin the market by pulling all safety down and get more people killed unnecessarily.
So many die from Tesla design failures versus all other brands on the road, it’s a wonder the company is even allowed to continue selling cars.
It’s not even close because without fraud there would be no Tesla. Remember my stark warnings from 2021, if not throughout the five years before that?
