Volvo Engineer Calls Out Tesla For Dangerous 'Wannabe' Autopilot System
Tesla’s semi-autonomous Autopilot system has been impressing everyone from consumers to journalists, and even other industry experts and executives. Even us! But now a Volvo engineer has called Tesla’s system out, claiming it’s a dangerous “wannabe” autonomous technology.
Trent Victor, senior technical leader of crash avoidance for Volvo, had quite a few choice words to say about Tesla’s Autopilot system in a recent interview with The Verge, claiming the electric automaker was touting what is essentially a rudimentary semi-autonomous technology as being far more capable than it actually is.
