Jeff Bezos’s Washington Post article lying about Tesla…sigh.
How many fools will get duped by Jeff on this one?
While there are many articles that do not accurately convey the nature of our safety systems, the recent Washington Post article is particularly egregious in its misstatements and lack of relevant context.
We at Tesla believe that we have a moral obligation to continue improving our already best-in-class safety systems (tesla.com/blog/model-y-e…). At the same time, we also believe it is morally indefensible not to make these systems available to a wider set of consumers, given the incontrovertible data that shows it is saving lives and preventing injury.
Regulators around the globe have a duty to protect consumers, and the Tesla team looks forward to continuing our work with them towards our common goal of eliminating as many deaths and injuries as possible on our roadways.
Below are some important facts, context and background.
Background
1. Safety metrics are emphatically stronger when Autopilot is engaged than when not engaged.
a.
In the 4th quarter of 2022, we recorded one crash for every 4.85 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology. For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology, we recorded one crash for every 1.40 million miles driven. By comparison, the most recent data available from NHTSA and FHWA (from 2021) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 652,000 miles. (tesla.com/VehicleSafetyR…)
b.
The data is clear: The more automation technology offered to support the driver, the safer the driver and other road users. Anecdotes from the WaPo article come from plaintiff attorneys—cases involving significant driver misuse—and are not a substitute for rigorous analysis and billions of miles of data.
c.
Recent Data continues this trend and is even more compelling. Autopilot is ~10X safer than US average and ~5X safer than a Tesla with no AP tech enabled. More detailed information will be publicly available in the near future.
2. Autopilot features, including Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer, are SAE Level 2 driver-assist systems, meaning –
a.
Whether the driver chooses to engage Autosteer or not, the driver is in control of the vehicle at all times. The driver is notified of this responsibility, consents, agrees to monitor the driving assistance, and can disengage anytime.
b.
Despite the driver being responsible for control for the vehicle, Tesla has a number of additional safety measures designed to monitor that drivers engage in active driver supervision, including torque-based and camera-based monitoring. We have continued to make progress in improving these monitoring systems to reduce misuse.
c.
Based on the above, among other factors, the data strongly indicates our customers are far safer by having the choice to decide when it is appropriate to engage Autopilot features. When used properly, it provides safety benefits on all road classes.
The Washington Post leverages instances of driver misuse of the Autopilot driver assist feature to suggest the system is the problem. The article got it wrong, misreporting what's actually alleged in the pending lawsuit and omitting several important facts:
1. Contrary to the Post article, the Complaint doesn't reference complacency or Operational Design Domain.
2. Instead, the Complaint acknowledges the harms of driver inattention, misuse, and negligence.
3. Mr. Angulo and the parents of Ms. Benavides who tragically died in the crash, first sued the Tesla driver—and settled with him—before ever pursuing a claim against Tesla.
4. The Benavides lawsuit alleges the Tesla driver “carelessly and/or recklessly” “drove through the intersection…ignoring the controlling stop sign and traffic signal.”
5. The Tesla driver didn’t blame Tesla, didn’t sue Tesla, didn’t try to get Tesla to pay on his behalf. He took responsibility.
6. The Post had the driver's statements to police and reports that he said he was “driving on cruise.” They omit that he also admitted to police “I expect to be the driver and be responsible for this.”
7. The driver later testified in the litigation he knew Autopilot didn’t make the car self-driving and he was the driver, contrary to the Post and Angulo claims that he was mislead, over-reliant or complacent. He readily and repeatedly admitted:
a.
“I was highly aware that was still my responsibility to operate the vehicle safely.”
b.
He agreed it was his “responsibility as the driver of the vehicle, even with Autopilot activated, to drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.”
c.
“I would say specifically I was aware that the car was my responsibility. I didn’t read all these statements and passages, but I’m aware the car was my responsibility.”
8. The Post also failed to disclose that Autopilot restricted the vehicle's speed to 45 mph (the speed limit) based on the road type, but the driver was pressing the accelerator to maintain 60 mph when he ran the stop sign and caused the crash. The car displayed an alert to the driver that, because he was overriding Autopilot with the accelerator, "Cruise control will not brake."

Doesn't musks own screenshot confirm what community notes says? Inclusive is turned off. I checked mine and it was off. I wrote the same sentence and it didn't flag insane.
Wait a minute, does this mean that if Art’s Appliances is offering CrAzY DeALs In DeCemBeR someone is going to rail against them for displaying ‘mental health bias’?
The War on Adjectives has to end!
He can make a popular site that loses money, but he can't run it at a loss forever.
Twitter's ad revenue in 2023 is significantly lower compared to 2022:
Decline:
- Estimates predict a 27.9% decline, with projected earnings of $2.98 billion in 2023 compared to $4.14 billion in 2022.
- This is a significantly steeper drop than the 7.2% decline observed from 2021 to 2022.
Reasons for decline:
- Several factors are attributed to this decline:
- Content moderation concerns under Elon Musk: Advertisers are hesitant to associate their brands with the platform due to controversies regarding Musk's approach to content moderation.
- Loss of key personnel: Departure of several high-profile executives has created instability and raised concerns among advertisers.
- Uncertainty about platform direction: Musk's vision for the platform's future remains unclear, further deterring ad investment.
They don't want to talk about that or booming usage rates. Only about political companies like Disney acting politically. Shame that Disney can't stop losing hundreds of millions of dollars on each sloppy film they put out these days.
I love free speech absolutists that demand companies pay them in the form of advertising dollars.
The quote wasn't that long, how did you manage to get so badly lost?
There are plenty of "Mom's for Liberty" nutjobs that are on school boards who either home school their kids or have them enrolled in private schools.
I'd trust that individual over someone degenerative enough to swear an oath on the book gender queer.
What else are we talking about here? “Blackmailing” him by refusing to by ads? That’s free speech right there, which Elon claims to be defending all the time.
This isn't surprising at all. I get followed by about 10 new bots every single week. Ones that follow like 1000 people, and have about 2 or 3 followers. Usually super hot chicks and usernames that have about 10 numbers at the end.
Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand

But they fix the dents with a software update
Or…they tell you it’s your fault
Weird
Almost like Tesla designed a car to accelerate and decelerate super-fast, but didn't do the homework on the fatigue stresses to the structural parts that would incur those stresses.
Noting that for vehicles that can accelerate/decelerate faster than typical road vehicles need components that are structurally stronger and heavier than most. But that heft adds weight that both slows down your acceleration speeds (RE: cool marketing claims) as well as your range.

This hit piece and statistics manipulation sponsored by ExxonMobil & Shell!
LOL
Yeppers, Califorinia would have had high speed rails many moons and billlions of dollars ago, if not for that dastardly Musk, ummm, doing what exactly?
Hyperloop One isn’t even connected to Musk or Boring Company. It was Founded by Brogan BamBrogan and Shervin Pishevar and was connected to Richard Branson’s Virgin companies.
“Hyperloop One (known from October 2017 to November 2022 as Virgin Hyperloop or Virgin Hyperloop One) was an American transportation technology company that worked to commercialize the high-speed travel concept called the Hyperloop, a variant of the vacuum train.”

3 days to debunk. May be the fastest FUD hit piece ever completely dismantled. The internet remains undefeated.
Your story may have turned out to be fabricated, but hey you’ll always be a gullible moron! Hah!
