I would assert that there is no such thing as placating the press. They would just continue on a new path of critisism in order to pump the outrage narrative that is so effective in maintaining reader screen time.
I would hammer home education pieces both video and written and deploy them on as many platforms as possible both in documentary and infotainment forms to explain automation. To include what an “auto pilot”in an aircraft will,or won’t do all the way to the the misuse of the term “autonomous drone”, the majority of which are in fact like level 3 and still require an operator.
The tendency seems to be assuming lowest,common denominator and it seems this approach has lead us to a self fulfilling prophecy of self compounding ignorance. Perhaps this wouldn’t satiate a marketer but in the end it would build institutional credibility for Tesla as well as visibility as the entity that it is. That is to say, a company that does things to improve the well being of its customers rather than short term returns for some entity concerned only with remuneration.
