Autonomous Driving Lawsuits: Colorado - Another $TSLA Autopilot Lawsuit After Driver Dies

Yes, I did. I think it was on METAR. All the usual Musk worshippers came out of the woodwork to blame it on the driver. They pretty much shut down any attempt to consider or discuss potential problems with Tesla (the car or the stock).

How times have changed from the early 1960s, when we were quick (sometimes too quick) to blame bad outcomes on the product rather than the user. Today, the loud voices blame the user before the product.

My thought is that neither approach is good. Products do have problems from time to time. Users can and do misuse the product. Sometimes both contribute to a problem.

The only real error is failing to consider all sides of an issue (perhaps a problem with a product, as in this case) before trying to lay blame.

And THAT has application to investing, which I will leave to the reader to consider.
