Online Public Relations Thoughts

An MIT study shows that Tesla drivers become inattentive when using the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system from the auto maker. Of course.  What else would one expect when driving on autopilot?  Tesla says drivers who turn their attention from the road are using the system wrongly, but what does hands-free driving mean after all?  Tesla is loathe to admit that its hardware-software system is inadequate and too primitive.  It has become a PR problem for the company, especially after high-profile crashes of its vehicles.  Rather than withdraw the technology, Tesla has chosen to double down.  It's wrong-headed and the automaker will face legal consequences as a result.  What a way to wreck a reputation.
