>Why is Tesla held to a "standard" that no other vehicle manufacturers (that you "have to trust") are held to?

Because they are making claims about the state of their technology that no other vehicle manufacturers are.

They are? IIRC they've not said anything about their cars being completely autonomous, or that drivers should do anything behind the wheel that's different than what they should do behind the wheel of any other car..

What does the word "autopilot" mean to you?

What does the word "future" mean to you?

Coming Soon, like Theranos' blood test?

>IIRC they've not said anything about their cars being completely autonomous

How short have our memories become? I recall Tesla demonstrating being able to summon your car in a parking lot 3 years ago. That's driver not even in the car, let alone with hands-on-wheel.

Tesla has taken the "move fast and break things" approach to cars. That's fine, but they will step on toes in the process, and have to deal with it.
