Thought I'd post this here, looks like a commercial pitched against FSD. I've seen Youtube videos, articles, and such, but never a TV ad.

Average guy who loves autonomous vehicles
It is a campaign ad from a congressman who is making Tesla's FSD Beta a part of his campaign. But this was bound to happen. When you release beta software that is going to make mistakes since it is beta and the software is called "full self-driving", people will take notice. And you can argue that the ad is cherry picking the bad and not showing the good, perhaps, but the fact is that FSD Beta almost hitting pedestrians, poles and other vehicles is not a good look! it is bound to draw negative attention. Not everybody will see things the same way Tesla fans do. A lot of people will look at FSD Beta almost causing accidents, if not for the last second driver intervention, and think it is a bad thing to allow beta testing of a FSD system like this.
Not a congressman. A candidate to be a senator, but only because it gives him favorable rates and time slots to run his Anti-FSD ads. He doesn't actually want to win the election. (At least that is what I have read.) He also owns a business that helps develop ADAS software, so a Tesla competitor.

Yes, let's keep all bad things about Tesla and FSD in the shadows and in secret where they belong. Everybody knows that secrecy and opaqueness are hallmarks of a good and successful company.
This is from Dan O'Dowd. He's the one that took out a full page ad in the NYT against FSD a few months back.

Interesting insight here:
He wants to destroy Elon Musk. He could end up endangering the Dems’ Senate plans.
Dan O’Dowd is running for office squarely as a means of bludgeoning the Tesla CEO. Could he screw up things for the incumbent?
