Watch @Tesla self-driving v14.3 run a red light in the middle of a construction zone, forcing the driver to disengage!

@ElonMusk’s defective software should be banned from public roads until the safety defects are fixed.

Watch @Tesla self-driving v14.3.5 drive straight towards a parked car, forcing the driver to hit the brakes.

@ElonMusk’s defective software can’t handle basic driving manuevers. It should not be allowed on public roads.

Dear Representative,

I am concerned by Tesla’s deployment of its experimental self-driving software on public roads. I note that data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that this technology has been implicated in over 1,000 crashes, dozens of which have been fatal. I urge you to act by calling for more stringent regulation of Tesla’s self-driving software. Tesla escapes the regulatory scrutiny we rightly place on other self-driving cars. I call on you to address this issue by demanding that Tesla is held to the same standards we demand of other self-driving vehicles.

Sincerely,
