The Facts
According to Lukasz Krupski, a former employee of Tesla, the technology behind the electric car company's self-driving vehicles isn't safe enough to be used on public roads.
In an interview, Krupski stated that he thinks that it's important to call out to these issues because, as he put it, "it affects all of us ... we are all essentially experiments [on] public roads." He continued, saying that even those without Teslas are affected because: "children still walk on the footpath."
The Spin
Narrative A
These accusations are preposterous. Tesla possesses, by far, the most advanced real-world AI. This so-called whistleblower is just a disgruntled former employee trying to get his pound of flesh after being dismissed, for cause, from the company.
Narrative B
Tesla can deny there are issues with its AI, but the leaked data reveals the reality. Not only should Tesla take this whistleblower’s actions as a warning to get its act together, but all manufacturers using AI and related technologies have to do a better job of safety testing and quality control if they want consumers to trust them.
