AutoExec Summary
Tech CEO Dan O’Dowd continues his campaign against Tesla’s Autopilot with two ads during Super Bowl LVIII, criticising the semi-autonomous technology for alleged safety risks and hidden disclaimers. O’Dowd calls for a boycott of Tesla, citing data on crashes and deaths related to Autopilot. Tesla has rolled out an update to make Autopilot more vigilant, but court cases have cleared the company of responsibility for fatal crashes. O’Dowd, who ran for the US Senate based on his anti-Tesla campaign, spent $552,000 on the Super Bowl ad campaign.
