Advertising... is shitty.

Not just for Tesla, lots of companies make exaggerated claims about their products. Take a look at any advertising around SuperCruise and you’ll see the phrase “Hands Free Driving” about a million times. But fundamentally it has the same limits on self driving as Tesla. SuperCruise and AutoPilot both rely on the driver to intervene. If Musk gets crap for briefly taking his hands off the wheel on TV, how does GM get a free pass on marketing as “Hands Free”?
