Elon Musk just can’t keep his freaking mouth shut — via drivingdotca Tesla MotorMouth
And thus do we come back to Mr. Musk’s penchant for self-immolation. Despite these ongoing lawsuits and despite the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Mr. Musk riled authorities again just three weeks ago by seemingly agreeing that drivers with 10,000 miles’ use of Tesla’s ‘Full Self Driving’ would soon be able to disable the system’s “steering-wheel nag.” Again, Twitter was the forum.
per day in the United States alone. More important is that the specific claim that self-driving Teslas are involved in fewer accidents per mile driven than cars controlled by human hands — one every 6.26 million miles using Autopilot versus every 652,000 miles for the U.S. average — may be misleading.
“The intent of the video was not to accurately portray what was available for customers in 2016,” Elluswamy is recorded as saying in a transcript seen by; “It was to portray what was possible to build into the system.” That did not, however, stop Mr. Musk from tweeting “Tesla drives itself thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot.” Note the lack of a “could have driven itself” conditional that would have made Elluswamy’s justifications accurate.
What we are left with is a leader of the most valuable car company in the world who, at the very least, exaggerates outcomes or, in some cases, seemingly invents them. There be all manner of proverbs that countenance against such behaviour. “Live by the sword, die by the sword” immediately comes to mind; “You reap what you sow” would be another.
