Elon Musk misled buyers with Autopilot driving system: Tesla whistleblowers
Musk unveils Tesla Model Y in Hawthorne, California
As stated on the company's website, Tesla, Elon Musk's electric car firm, was created on the idea that it represented the future of driving.
At the core of much of that promise was Autopilot, a combination of features that could steer, brake, and accelerate the company's sleek electric vehicles on highways.
Elon Musk, according to Tesla whistleblowers, deceived customers and compromised safety with the Autopilot driving system, which was previously blamed for deadly fatalities, according to a report in DailyMail.co.uk.
