Take Tesla for whatever you will, but there’s crazy conflict of interest behind the dawn project/Dan o’dowd attacking this.
“Green Hills also develops automotive software—it's about 40 percent of the company's business, O'Dowd said—and is a software supplier for the 2022 BMW iX EV crossover. This has caused O'Dowd critics and Tesla fans to call out The Dawn Project's conflict of interest and question the organization's motives.”

Def conflict of interest, but they aren't necessarily lying, I've personally lost all trust in Teslas autopilot the day Musk stated (paraphrasing) that "aLl wE NeED arE CAmEraS" like no thanks, a safety critical system should have a fall back system. Cameras fuck up a lot and LiDAR came down a lot in cost since then, but anybody who actually even halfway knows what they're doing could have predicted that.
And then all the things Musk's done since just solidified that lol
I am so ready to get a fully autonomous car, but not a fucking Tesla that's for damn sure, I'll wait for some other manufacturer.
Yeah no way shitting on a company could be worth the price of a super bowl ad unless also peddling something yourself.
I dunno if I had a billion dollars I'd consider a screw you white castle ad just for shits and giggles (mostly shits)
