I don't think that's quite fair. Is self-driving technology perfect? No. But it's learning and gets better with more and more data. Is it completely safe? No, there have been some fatalities. But you need to ask yourself, would those deaths have occurred had there been a human driver behind the wheel? I believe yes. And probably many more too. Human drivers are the most dangerous.
I have found it baffling that the stock market has slumped as a result of such great economic news. Thanks @[Phil Flynn](user:33688), for making sense of it all.
I never believed the unemployment numbers lauded by the #Obama administration. After all, the "falling" unemployment rates were always filled with people who maxed out of collecting unemployment since Obama eliminated all extensions. But learning that 94% of millions of jobs Obama created weren't traditional jobs?! That number shocks even me.
Chris, it was my understanding that Tesla's response to the Consumer Report story was that they acknowledged that there were bugs and that they will be fixing them for free through built-in firmware updates (just like you'd get a free Windows update bug fix on your computer). So there would be no cost at all to consumers.
I don't recall the exact source but it was in a Huffington Post article that was listed in the "Around The Web" sidebar right here on TalkMarkets.
While you are of course right, when it comes to tech companies, they always push products out to market before it's ready and just figure they'll fix all the bugs later. And they get away with this too - users and early adopters have come to expect this. I'd say that Tesla $TSLA is becoming a tech company and is behaving in the same way.
Actually Carol, I must confess that I've never seen an episode of Mad Men. It's been on my to do list for many years, but I never quite found the time. I heard it was a great show though. I just assumed it would be hard to have product placements for a period piece, but I suppose some companies like Coca Cola were certainly around back then.
