In my book, Tesla gets a bad rap for providing an unvalidated, should-be safety-critical system to run-of-the-mill consumers without an accompanying Safety Management System.
The fact that they profit handsomely off this structurally dangerous wrongdoing is just the cherry on top.
And, without robustly maintaining a systems safety lifecycle (which, by necessity, must incorporate a Safety Management System)... no technical progress is quantifiable by anyone, including Tesla.
Tesla effectively throws a system over-the-wall and throws it all on the human driver and on the public.
