What Tesla is selling was covered in the first link. If you disagree, either provide proof to the contrary or quit "making things up."

That first link is Tesla advertisement, not independently acquired data. It's worthless.

I thought you were all about sourced information though. Where's your evidence that it's inaccurate?

What is the evidence that is it accurate? Is there any reason to trust Tesla's advertisements?

Ah, you have no evidence to back your argument up so you're just going to dig your heels in and quite hypocritically make unfounded claims. Got it.

Autopilot has been around for nearly a decade now but "it doesn't work" and you're the only person on the planet to figure it out in all that time, which is why you can't provide any proof. I'll bet you acquired this super secret knowledge without ever setting foot inside a Tesla too, right?

You're the one making unfounded claims. Tesla advertisements are not data.

So prove it or stop making things up. Show us data proving that Teslas crash at the same rate as all those vehicles without ADAS systems. Should be easy for someone so confident in their (thus far) completely unfounded and unsourced opinion. You haven't been able to provide a single shred of evidence backing your claim. Why is that? Where is the independent verification for your claim since that's something important to you?

Seeing cars pile up on the San Francisco tunnel due to Tesla's phantom breaking crap is good enough reason.

Yet you have failed to provide a single drop of evidence to support the disinformation you're spewing.

Lol so when you rear-end someone, it's the fault of the person in front? Not sure where you learned how to drive, but they failed you.

The phantom braking is an issue, but again that's another example of the driver failing to control their vehicle. Like all other systems, Autopilot warns you multiple times when it's going to disengage.

Funny you claim I've failed to provide a single drop of evidence when I've posted numerous links. You're, what, ten comments in now, having demanded evidence numerous times, yet have failed to provide even a single link to back any of your made-up claims. That's pretty telling and a bit embarrassing if you ask me.

Haha, go away troll. Your links are Tesla advertisements, and yes if you break in fast flowing traffic you are at fault and you will cause an accident.
