This is probably core to their legal strategy. No matter how much data the cars collect they can always safely destroy most because this allows them to pretend the autonomous driving systems weren’t involved in the crash.

At this point it’s beyond me why people still trust the brand and the system. Musk really only disrupted the “fake it” part of “fake it till you make it”.

I've seen so many Teslas do so many stupid things on motorways that I do everything I can not to be behind, in front of, or beside one. Can't imagine why anyone would get inside one.

Pro tip: Keep the dangerous vehicles in front of you. That way you have control over the situation.
