It's fascinating (and really quite unfortunate) how often articles driven by what I'd call "hate upvotes" make it to the front page of HN. We're awash in links to pessimistic anecdotes that suit a narrative driven by dislike of a certain company or person, but which don't provide any useful knowledge. I think our time is probably better spent on more positive and insightful articles.

Your comment is not substantial. If you have a reason why Tesla should not be responsible for selling half-baked software as "Full Self Driving", then please share it.

Otherwise your assumption that it's just a hate-vote is just your assumption.

For me personally, any article that helps to define the risk of driving on the same roads as Teslas is important. I didn't opt in to this greed-fueled lunacy and don't want to die because of it.

This is a strange take. It's preferable to be exposed to a pocket of criticism to get a full picture. In the wider world, Musk can do no wrong, at least in his business endeavours.
