Despite all the previous hype over runaway Prius, the Tesla crashes got barely a second glance from media. I still don't understand how the NHTSA allowed experimental vehicles to be advertised as 'fully autonomous' and sold as such. It's literally using public motorways as test tracks for an experiment technology that will require at least a hundred times the existing sensory power and AI to be the equivalent of a safe driving human. That's not even counting the ability to know when other people are more likely to drive crazy such as after sports games, or new years eve, or during a Friday freezing rain. The Tesla sensors are easily fooled by conflicting circumstances and/or input data. Sometimes they just simply drive on the wrong side of a two lane road. Outrageously dangerous.

"It's financially insane to buy anything other than a Tesla," the video shows Musk saying in April 2019.
The video also shows Musk in 2015 saying that Tesla will have autonomy in 3 years. It then shows Musk in 2018 saying that by the end of the following year, full self driving would be 100% to 200% safer than humans driving.
Noting that Tesla was in financial turmoil at the times Musk made many statements, the video swiftly debunks each of Musk's points as it shows them, using footage of media reports and autonomous "beta testers".
