Tesla Inc has demanded a safety advocacy group take down videos of its vehicles running over child dummies when its driver assistant system was engaged, calling them"defamatory" and"misleading".
One of the videos posted by the group shows a Tesla vehicle with FSD software running over child-sized mannequins, and says:"Tell Congress to shut it down." Tesla threatened to take legal action, saying the tests in the videos are"likely fraudulent" and"misrepresent the capabilities of Tesla’s technology".
The company said its"FSD Beta", a test version of its new automated driving technology used by a limited number of consumers,"does recognise pedestrians, including children, and when utilised properly, the system reacts to prevent or mitigate a collision".
