The New York Times Presents: Elon Musk’s Crash Course (S2EP1 FX Fri May 20, 2022)
Elon Musk’s Crash Course: Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has claimed since 2015 that self-driving car technology is a “solved problem” for Tesla, and has made outlandish claims about Autopilot’s capabilities. However, a New York Times investigation reveals Musk’s irrational pursuit of self-driving technology, as well as the tragic results. Tesla has not publicly acknowledged that Autopilot was a factor in several deaths and dozens of other accidents. Former Tesla employees have spoken out against Musk for promoting a potentially dangerous self-driving programme.
