Tesla was the worst-ranked brand in the study, getting flagged in every privacy category — only the second time this happened. Tesla’s AI-powered autopilot was highlighted as “untrustworthy” following its involvement in numerous crashes and fatalities.
Autopilot has never been “involved” in a crash anymore than your parking sensors have. It is a driver assistance system. It manages your cruise control and keeps you between the lines on the highway. The “driver” (you know, the person operating the vehicle) is the one responsible for avoiding crashes.
Yeah, that does sound untrustworthy.
Huh?! If I look at the source of the article at Mozilla, Tesla is actually ranked as almost least creepy.
So I do not understand where this is coming from. Also the picture of the article only showing teslas is highly suggestive

This is the article being referenced. Specifically, the table listing the brands from “bad to worst”:

This is very confusing
I thought this discussion was about privacy?

People might blame it less if it weren’t called autopilot or full self driving.
What do you think “autopilot” means?
