    This guy is like some unibomber manifesto nutjob. Just basic handwringing, afraid of change. no indication at all of intelligent analysis of real risk and probabilities and statistics, technologies.

    Fwiw, I've started a thread to see others experience and maybe figure out what to do.

    Experiences getting Tesla to resolve autopilot / EAP issues?

    So as much as I'm worried about autopilot I don't want to NOT have autopilot as an option I can use. Autopilot is the reason I'm looking to buy Tesla in the first place.

    Not sure about AP 2.0 but 60,000+ miles on AP 1.0 (firmware 7.1) and we love the system. Very stable and reliable in our experience.

    Exactly. 40% safer according to NHTSA. I have AP 1, know how to use it and would not want to be without it at this point.

    Every time I see a post like his on here (especially someone with 15 posts....) I suspect some sort of manipulation being attempted by a stock shorter, big auto supporter etc... they are wasting their time...

    Lol at his linkedin.

    He's basically trying to pedal his services by creating false hysteria. He's trying to sell some sort of testing services.

    Not really doing a good job since this is first I heard of this guy.

    His education is just as impressive. I see zero formal engineering training, and browsing through his past experiences, it's just a bunch of key words and key phrases.
