Tesla thinks people are crash test dummies
Disclaimer-This article is in no way meant to shame or ridicule anyone who died from a Tesla vehicle or those affected by the deaths.
California and Texas are the recent states with fatal Telsa crashes that were driverless. The recent trend brings to mind a strange paradox. There was a popularized commercial series in the 1990s. Participants would willingly sit in a car that would speed and crash into the wall on purpose. The goal of the test was to assess the safety of the seat belt or airbag protecting someone in the event a crash tats place. The commercial was satirical because who would willingly place themselves in a car just to crash into a wall. Well, if you drive a Tesla or considering one you may want to wait. Here’s why Telsa thinks people are crash test dummies.
2 and a half decades later after the car test dummy commercial and people still haven’t learned. Why are people willing to pay a ballpark 6 figures if the manufacture treats people like crash test dummies? First of all, the Telsa is a sign of status in the world, which in our capitalistic society many feels is important. At least for our ego. It’s important that we use our car as a symbol to remind others of how important we think we are. Rather than our vehicle getting from point a to b. Other electric cars have come and gone, but those appealed to the hippy crowd. Whereas Telsa is for the businessman and woman.
In an age of hustle culture and rat racing, the crash test Telsa is a symbol of achievement. Although the cars were tested before being sold, it appears that drivers are the real lab rats. People are usually paid to do experiments not the other way around, even more so if it puts their lives in danger. Our ego need for attention and genius marketing has swayed Telsa drivers to participate in the electric car experiment.
Telsa drivers have to abide by the same speed limits and driving laws as everyone else. To keep the masses engage in the Maya(illusion) of the world is to make you want things you don’t need. Tec and wifi are the same, a.i. and wifi is an experiment with emf to our body that has yet to be tested. Therefore no one is aware of the potentially harmful effects of Bluetooth frequency. Were taught to believe the hype for technology making our lives easier without harmful effects being possible.
Does the world need self-driving cars? Telsa spokesperson asked users to remain alert and behind the wheel even during autopilot mode. The only thing different between and Telsa and other cars is your not driving or steering, but is that much of a difference if you have to be alert? It’s not as if you’re taking a nap in the backseat while being driven to your destination. So what is the purpose of a self-driving car if you have to be alert? Besides a symbol of status, what does a Telsa car offer? If people are willing to be viewed as Tesla crash test dummies, imagine what people will do for flying cars.
Tesla is marketed as a self-driving but it hasn’t done a great job of that. What is being done well is convincing you to buy something you don’t need. Why would anyone need a self-driving car from a company that has less than a 100% crash rate? Does fuel emission contribute enough pollution where the harmful effects are immediate in real-time? Is the need so urgent that we should risk our lives driving faulty self-driving cars? Are we being sold a self-driving car or the urgency of obtaining a symbol status?
In conclusion, Our faith in man and his technology needs reassessing. It’s zapping our common sense and many are unaware that they’re being perceived as Tesla crash test dummies. How is technology making our lives easier by killing our memories and more importantly our bodies? The recent crashes of Tesla vehicles are a bleak reminder that technology as a whole is an experiment. The experiment is marketed as leverage but the reality is a double edge hack.
