During a conference call announcing that all Tesla vehicles will now have self-driving hardware, co-founder Elon Musk slammed the media on Wednesday for its close coverage of autonomous vehicle accidents, blaming journalists for any deaths involving conventional cars that may occur as a result.
"If you write an article that effectively dissuades people from using autonomous vehicles, you're killing people," said Musk.
Comparing the relatively rare self-driving car accidents to the millions of deadly collisions involving non-autonomous vehicle that occur each day, the Tesla founder said the attention paid to the former reflected poorly on the media.
