Tesla Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Autopilot Capabilities

Tesla, take notes from Benz whom has more than a Century of wisdom on you. Even IF you have it, You should NOT always build it, and if you SHOULD build it, build it with LIMITED CAPABILITIES to cover your ass.

Benz has had radar guided cruise control since the late 90's, they've got a whole host of capabilities they aren't using to the max to cover their ass

If the lawsuit is about AP 2.0 being late, then they may have a case.

Same dude just sued Ford saying the Mustang GT350 is a fraud. Looks like he's the ambulance chaser of auto related lawsuits. Lol.
