Episode notes

The system is not marketed, advertised or designed to be a hands free system. The person who died was posting content calling his autopilot self driving and saying he would use it when he was tired and bored. And this is what people have to understand about this. This is life and death. It's so disappointing.

Even as more misuse of driver assistance systems, and the subsequent crashes and deaths are reported we still see Autonowashing popping up everywhere. From Tesla to TikTok, and from Elon Musk to the mainstream media, people continue to ignore the tragic cost of overstating the capabilities of automated assistance systems. This week the gang discusses a few of the most recent examples, explores a misperception at the heart of some more innocent autonowashing, talks Elon Musk on SNL and pitches a few new ideas for future shows.
