Description

Tesla dominates the auto safety world this week and on this podcast that is a bad thing. First Tesla recalls almost every car they've ever produced. Then their lawyers cause the Tesla flock to cry by admitting that AutoPilot and Full Self Driving are nothing more than corporate puffery (at $12,000 that's gotta hurt) and finally an insurance study shows that Tesla drivers are more likely to get into a crash than drivers of any other vehicles. I wonder what Earth will have to say about all of this?This weeks links:https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/16/tesla-autopilot-recall/https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/teslas-autopilot-system-sparked-lawsuits-before-the-recall-970cfe4ehttps://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/virginia-sheriffs-office-says-tesla-was-running-on-autopilot-moments-before-tractor-trailer-crash/ar-AA1lp6Zyhttps://jalopnik.com/tesla-drivers-have-more-car-crashes-than-anyone-else-s-1851110889https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/10/tesla-autopilot-crash/https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/tesla-fights-autopilot-false-advertising-claim-with-free-speech-argument/https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/disgraced-nikola-founder-trevor-milton-gets-4-year-sentence-for-lying-about-evs/https://jalopnik.com/mercedes-turquoise-automated-driving-lights-level-3-1851110043https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/stellantis-makes-a-big-bet-on-ev-battery-swapping-in-new-deal-with-ample/ar-AA1l9r3thttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V801-2565.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V807-5655.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V830-3081.PDFhttps://www.autosafety.org/support-us/
