Is Elon Musk Killing People?
Elon has a portfolio of the most ambitious tech companies to have ever existed. But is he running them in a way that could be causing harm to people? Tesla Full Self Drive and Autopilot have been a subject of controversy, where driver complacency and distraction have led to the first Level 2 autonomous vehicle deaths.
However, is this an issue of the drivers being at fault? Or did Elon Musk make some decisions along the way which have led to the deaths of some of his biggest and most loyal fans? Is Elon Musk Killing People?
In this video, we learn about Liza Dixon's concept of Autonowashing, the practice of making something seem more autonomous than it actually is. We also take a look at Tesla's history and pathway to autonomy, from the founding, all the way to Autopilot and Tesla Full Self Drive.

I have a 401k-equivalent which may invest in index funds or stocks - but I have no idea which ones). I work for an autonomous shuttle company which is not in competition with any of the companies mentioned in this video (someone in the market for a level 2 vehicle would not be considering the vehicles we produce).
