100%. If not for the good PR Tesla has, there would be a huge amount of upset if say, Ford did exactly the same.

Why bother when you have people that will sacrifice themselves to QA for them. And pay them for the privilege to do so.

We need some new laws...

I'm a pretty big fan of Tesla in general but this aspect has always left me baffled. I am a software engineer and work on a system that is not 1/1000000th as critical as a self driving system. If my system crashes or has a bug no one is at risk of injury or death. Yet I would never dream of releasing an update or feature to our clients to test or QA. Our clients are paying us to give them a system that is tested and works. Its like Tesla has somehow convinced everyone that is no longer the norm and being tester/QA is part of the deal.

I don't know all that much about the company itself. But would it be fair to say they follow "move fast break things" in general?
