"Teslas ate my baby!!!!

If you've not heard, you most likely will next week, since the mainstream press seems to lag a few days.

A guy, who coincidentally owns a company that sells software to OEMs to help them build Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has got a rock hard on for Tesla Autopilot and Full Self Driving Beta. To the point he's taken out full page ads in the New York Times advocating for its banning. And made a run for Congress where the only cause he advocated was forcing that system off the road.

So he founded a non-profit that appears to have the one goal. And late last week the released a video showing an Tesla literally mowing down a mannequin dressed as a child. The linked article does a pretty good analysis of all the things wrong with this "test".

Keep in mind, the NHTSA, the IIHS, EuroCAP and other governmental other well know NGO groups actually perform this same sort of testing, and Tesla normally aces it.

Recent claims have received a lot of attention - but do they stand up to scrutiny?

Sounds Like NBC News mounting model rockets to a Chevy Pickup to the truck would catch fire.

So a guy who's trying to make money selling his own company's self driving system software is bad mouthing his primary competition. The tv networks should be forced to run that info during his ads. But they wont, because Tesla is non-union and they are paid by unions.
