These aren’t passive victims, they are operating harmfully dangerous machines at high speeds on roads shared with the rest of us.
Right but they believe that the car is safe, because of the advertising and because the product is legally sold.
If anyone is to blame here it's not the owner of the car, it's the regulators who allow such a dangerous vehicle to exist and to be sold.
Yea, this subthread it morally ass.
I don't think it's morally wrong to be a sucker. If you fall for the lie, you think you're actually doing a good thing by using FSD and making the road both safer today and potentially radically safer into the future.
Problem is, it's a lie. Regulators exist to sort that shit out for you, car accidents are rare enough that the risk is hard to evaluate as a lone-gun human out here. The regulators biffed this one about as hard as an obvious danger can be biffed.
