THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TESLA AUTOPILOT. HERE IS A FRESHLY UPLOADED VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0JLLUPSVGJ4 THE OWNER DRIVES HANDS FREE ON AN UNDIVIDED ROAD WHILST USING BOTH HANDS TO EAT A BURGER. THIS IS NOT MERELY A CASE OF STUPIDITY IT IS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE MARKETING OF AUTOPILOT BY TESLA. THE VERY NAME AUTOPILOT IS DANGEROUSLY MISLEADING, OTHER MAKERS CALL THEIR SYSTEMS "DRIVER ASSIST" OR "LANE-KEEPING ASSIST" THE WIDELY PUBLICISED CLAIM THAT TESLA AUTOPILOT IS 40% SAFER THAN A HUMAN DRIVER IS FURTHER ENCOURAGEMENT FOR OWNERS TO USE THIS IN A DANGEROUS FASHION. DURING THIS VIDEO THE CAR TAKES A SUDDEN SWERVE OVER THE CENTRE-LINE JUST AFTER THE OWNER HAS FINISHED EATING HIS BURGER. THE OWNER THINKS THAT THIS IS ALL A GREAT JOKE. I AGREE, TESLA AUTOPILOT IS A JOKE, BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY. PLEASE STOP THIS DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTOGRAPH OF A FATAL CRASH THAT HAS JUST HAPPENED IN CHINA. HTTPS://WWW.REDDIT.COM/R/TESLAMOTORS/COMMENTS/6RAUD3/ANOTHER_ACCIDENT_IN_CHINA_INVOLVING_AN_TESLA/?ST=J5Z9ZTCW&SH=61E3B47D IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS FATAL CRASH WAS CAUSED BY AUTOPILOT. PLEASE ASK TESLA TO PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS AND ASK THEM TO PROVE BEYOND ANY DISPUTE THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT CAUSED BY AUTOPILOT. IT SEEMS THAT AFTER EVERY CRASH TESLA CLAIM THAT THE AUTOPILOT WAS DISENGAGED AT THE ACTUAL MOMENT OF IMPACT. WELL, THEY WOULD SAY THAT WOULDN'T THEY? PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN. DATES OF INCIDENTS ARE AN APPROXIMATION. DETAILS OF FATALITIES ARE AN ESTIMATE BASED UPON THE BLOOD AND BRAINS SPLATTERED OVER THE TESLA.
