Tesla autopilot features: Impact on EV demand

An analysis from the Washington Post showed that 8 fatal accidents that occurred with Tesla's (TSLA) autopilot features in its vehicles took place where they should not have been accessible, according to Tesla manuals.

Rusch said,"As we move forward with this technology, I think it's part of a larger branding issue for Tesla, in terms of how they present themselves because they were seen as the leading company on bringing clean, safe vehicles to market, and now as the reality comes forward, there is a lot more going on here."
