The hysteria over Tesla’s Autopilot has been completely blown out of proportion

[Guest Yoni Heisler]

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/4a9ba45dc4701885acdbf07d026cdad0.jpgOver the past few weeks, Tesla's Autopilot software has been unfairly singled out and scrutinized as a piece of technology that Tesla recklessly deployed before being 100% ready for day-to-day use. This hysteria against all things Tesla reached a fever pitch this week when Consumer Reports published a self-righteous piece calling for Tesla to disable Autopilot until they get the technology figured out. And late on Thursday, we learned that even the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation directed a letter to Elon Musk asking him or a Tesla representative to answer a few questions. With all of the commotion, speculation and, at times, wild accusations being thrown in Tesla's direction, you might be forgiven for assuming that Teslas on Autopilot have been running amok like mindless zombies on The Walking Dead and causing accidents by the hundreds. It's time to jump back to reality.
