Some of us think that Tesla's technology is an experiment.

An incredibly dangerous one.

Federal regulators do not agree with your assessment.

> Federal regulators "did not identify any defects" in Tesla's autopilot feature after a lengthy investigation of the technology, officials announced Thursday.

> A six-month investigation failed to uncover any flaws with the autopilot's emergency breaking technology and other advanced features linked to a deadly accident last year, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report released Thursday.

> "NHTSA’s examination did not identify any defects in design or performance of the AEB or Autopilot systems of the subject vehicles nor any incidents in which the systems did not perform as designed," the NHTSA report said.

Sounds dubious. They seem to be focused on Autopilot working as intended. What if that is far from good enough?
