I think the fundamental misperception is that the more automated a system a driver system system is or seems the more advanced it is. And this is something that tesla really established and fostered in in sort of car buying public, and that i think dug is playing into here. I like to appeal to dugs up, you know, when you have an audience of that whont you have the option of exercising moral authority or not. And one, and i think dugs in position to exercise enormous moral authority do the right thing here. And i hope he does. Because there's staccastic safety wor casti risk around using language around technology as inaccurate.
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.
