The letter disputes whether the Tesla cars in the video had full self-driving on and reiterated 'independent safety agencies have rated Tesla’s safety at the highest levels.' The responding letter accused O'Dowd of 'disseminating defamatory information to the public regarding the capabilities of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving.'
Tesla, the electric vehicle company owned by Elon Musk, sent a cease-and-desist letter over the commercial, which seemingly shows their cars in self-driving mode hitting child-size models at 20mph to demonstrate how dangerous the software allegedly is.ĭan O'Dowd, the billionaire behind The Dawn Project, narrates the video and calls for Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta software to be banned from the road, saying Tesla's software is 'the worst commercial software I've ever seen.' Tesla has demanded videos of their self-driving cars striking child-size mannequins to be taken down after they were posted by The Dawn Project, a group dedicated to getting Tesla's 'full self-driving' technology off the roads.
