Synopsis | Elon Musk's Crash Course (2024)
For all of his futuristic vision and entrepreneurial drive, billionaire Elon Musk’s bold mission to build a fully autonomous car is stalling. His company Tesla is facing increasingly serious questions about the safety of its self-driving technology. A major investigation by a US regulator has linked Tesla’s autopilot feature to hundreds of crashes, many of them fatal. It says drivers have been lulled into a false sense of security about the cars that isn’t matched by reality. And it gets worse - there are also accusations that Musk and Tesla talked up the self-driving capabilities of the vehicles so much that they may have committed fraud by misleading investors and consumers.
