Fits the reports as in it demonstrates sales reps were showing the vehicles capabilities without following guidelines.

While theoretically you could do it with a chromebook and a $20 webcam, the successful channels all involve more - i.e. expensive video cameras and audio setups, professional video editing software and powerful desktops, all along with locations to shoot, resources to support you for extended periods of time while you…

You might not, but other people may with different circumstances and upbringing - it’s why we have consumer protection laws.

Let’s add this then, I give you a life jacket that I swear is so good you can just lie on your back and close your eyes and relax.

Well that’s for the court to decide =P Though, knowing dealers I would not be surprised if the salesman wasn’t 100% sure and exaggerated features. And as stated in the article, according to a Reuters article that also fits in with other reports of how Tesla’s chinese sales reps were demonstrating the car for potential…

Yep, it’s really all on the marketing - the exact same features and capabilities are on Mercedes’ distronic or drive pilot, but they don’t allow driver’s to take their hands off the steering wheel for more than 10 seconds, and all marketing (and dealers) are very clear that it is only there to “assist” the driver, not…

Yep, calling it “autopilot” was a serious miscalculation and the chinese term “automatic driving” is even worse. Especially in a country where people in the income bracket buying Teslas are actually used to being chauffeured around.

I just want to note, that’s an implementation on distronic (mercedes’ version). I have no idea if it’s universal or not.

Why are you having sex and making kids when MILLIONS OF POOR KIDS ARE STARVING TO DEATH EVERY DAY OR STUCK IN ORPHANAGES. You are as disgusting as she is if you don’t see that.

It’s basically the same thing as with regular old cruise control. I’m sure there are plenty of accidents where someone just set it up on an “empty” highway and forgot about it.

I’ve had driving assist tech (distronic) in my car for 2 years, and I don’t think it slows down the decision-making process. One thing is that the safety margin is probably bigger than I’d leave for myself normally, so, for example it’ll beep if a car ahead suddenly slams on the brakes or there’s an object in front,…

It’s the marketing that’s the problem. The word Tesla used in chinese actually means “car will drive automatically”, and they had salespeople claiming you could sleep while the car drove.

I think most of this is messaging. I’ve been driving my car with similar features (distronic), i.e. it will follow car in front of you, steer for your, automatically brake, etc. for two years now, and never have had problems - but I know to constantly pay attention, and do indeed manually take over maybe once every…

For everyone talking about how the users should have known that they needed to pay attention and how the marketing points out that the system requires constant attention is missing important facts.

Good to know - I never mind cashiers blocking the line off, or letting me know - and don’t think most people to - but the “light on” or “light off’ isn’t a universally understood signal to most people who have not worked as a cashier in those kind of department stores, so your comments are useful to helping to let…

Good to know, tbh never even noticed the lights in most places - usually only notice them in the context of places that have one long line for multiple cashiers - and lights are used to signal which ones were open (as you can’t see whether there are people in the further ones). Something to pay attention to from now…

OK good to know, I’ve never even noticed the lights in most places, usually only in those set up with a single line, and the lights are sometimes used to signal which cashier is open - but something to pay attention to from now on.
