Tesla Vehicles 'Will Try To Kill You': Safety Advocacy Group Founder Says FSD Drives 'Like A Drunk Teenager'
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
The Dawn Project, a safety advocacy group, aired two Super Bowl ads criticizing Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Full Self-Driving (FSD) software for safety concerns. The group claims the software can cause accidents, such as hitting a child or ignoring stop signs, and accuses Tesla of not making necessary changes despite being aware. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has distanced itself from the Dawn Project, demanding the removal of its seal from their materials.

NEGATIVE IMPACT
Tesla Inc faces criticism from The Dawn Project over its Full Self-Driving software, with claims of safety risks and negligence in making necessary changes.
The negative publicity from the Super Bowl ads and the safety concerns raised by The Dawn Project could potentially harm Tesla's brand reputation and customer trust in the short term. This, combined with the NTSB's distancing from the advocacy group, adds a layer of complexity to the situation. However, the impact on stock price will depend on public and investor perception of Tesla's response to these allegations.
