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.
