Wait, are you talking about Tesla? Since they are the ones who fabricated ridiculous claims like old versions of FSD using old hardware on arbitrary roads using untrained customers as safety drivers average ~5 million miles per collision and are thus ~2-7x safer than human drivers. Given that they present no credible, auditable evidence for that claim following your logic it should be unnecessary for anybody to refute their ridiculous claim and their systems can not be demonstrated to be safe despite billions of miles.

Despite that, the article and the public (the target of the hit piece that encourages people to endanger themselves with a system that has not been demonstrated to be safe with the direct intent of enriching the owners of Tesla) directly refute Tesla's ridiculous claims demonstrating they are off by multiple orders of magnitude using basic mandatory data reporting for their Robotaxi program which is using systems more advanced, fine-tuned, geofenced, with professional safety drivers (thus we can only reasonably assume that their normal system is worse), but which actually has scrutinized reporting requirements.

And yet now you argue that the entity fabricating ridiculous claims for their own enrichment, Tesla, is not only not responsible, but target of the hit piece, the ones that clearly and debunked Tesla's claims as deceptive, are not only responsible for refuting it but are responsible for demonstrating a level of rigor that is unimpeachable when the original fabricated claim lacks even the elements of rigor we expect out of your average middle school science fair, let alone a literal trillion dollar company.

Talk about double standards.
